Yes, it is possible. The easiest way is to use fossil http://www.fossil-scm.org/ Alternatively, you can use od to compose the X'hexhex' literal which you have to feed into the command line sqlite3 program. (One line, shell quoting not 100% correct, untested): f=thefilename ; echo "INSERT INTO t1 (name,contents) VALUES ('$f',X'$(od -A n -t x1 $f|tr -d '\r\n\t ')')" | sqlite3 your.db -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
