hello, I've started with SQLite, because it's one of the first dbases with a local filessytem without authenciation. It looks great, compared to ini-files. Now I've a basic problem: I've a table, with 10 simple fields and 1 blob field, containing a (possibly large) image. Uptill now the dbase is small so no performance problems yet. But what if it grows ? I want to look at the table in a table overview, where the blob-field just displays the type of image (identified by the fisrt 2 bytes SOI-code). When I ask for the table through a query, I get all the blob-filed information, while I only need the first 2 bytes, and only the full picture of 1 selected record. I can think of several solutions, but as my experience with databases is almost zero, I can't decide (and maybe I'm overlooking some better solutions) solution 1: add a extra field for each blob field, filled with the first 2 bytes of a blob solution 2: put the blob fields in a separate table, with a link to the main table any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, Stef Mientki ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
