Thank a lot for your reply Stephen, but this DATALENGTH( ) function doesn't seem to be available in FireFox.   John     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Witherden, Stephen Sent: Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:15 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: RE: [DUG] size of a blob Doh, I am getting slow in my old age..   Try the DATALENGTH( ) function in the database.
