My application is storing whole series of PNG and JPG files in the DB with meta data describing where the images came from. I like the concept of being able to set an upper limit on the number of retrieved bytes on a blob. I don't see any easy way to do it though. My images files tend to be from 50-500K so, performance wise it's pretty quick. -- Best regards, Teg mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
