Ok, what if I come at the problem from the opposite side: The problem is, Ive got a BLOB field which contains a char array as an escpaped string but when I call sqlite3_column_type(preparedstatement, x); it comes back as SQLITE_TEXT not SQLITE_BLOB
I want a way to detect that it should really be a blob not a string so that its interpreted as a char array rather than just a regular string. I seem to recall in MySQL you can check this by testing the charset of the string. On 07/07/10 13:37, Jay A.
