Yes, I understand that, but SQLite is designed to store and retrieve blobs, fixed size chunks of arbitrary data. It is not designed to manipulate the contents of the blobs. > What do you mean with: "... but you > can replace it with another > blob with a different size."? You can't directly change the size of a blob. You can only change the size by replacing one blob with another one of a different size. > Is it possible to store the file in a bigger > blob and then replace the blob with smaller one without to copy the raw blob > data? > No, when you replace a blob you will need to copy the data into the newly created smaller blob.
