hi- i never had to do serious import/export. if a blob happens to be a document like a microsoft word document i have trouble visualizing where the document goes when it gets exported from the sqlite table. i saw the maestro and data wizard with its blob export command. when i think of export in my mind it looks like output csv ( i think) "data1","23.25","whatever" so i wonder where does the blob end up on the file system when it is exported? is it in a separate location from a csv file? maybe in a folder containg all the blob objects in the db?
the reason i ask is i am trying to think about choice of tools and migrations if i switch developer tools down the road. so if i switch from db brand A how do i get the blob out of A and into db brand B. i think without a data tool it requires programming code. that is more than i want to get into at the moment but i am just getting a general overview. thanks for any help, jim --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500?
