It has been changed because handling of blobs if tricky in postgresql and the way to do it changes in every version. Also, incremental backups of your database would actually make sense if you do it like this, with blobs on disk. (Most blobs would not change, and the database dump will get considerably smaller) > For us this behaviour is undesirable since we don't have nor want acces > rights on the file system for the MMBase instance running in production. > Is there a way to invoke the 1.6 behaviour and retrieve everything from > the database You could put an alternative postgresql.xml somewhere under WEB-INF/classes (Extract it from mmbase.jar, change it to not store blobs on disk, and put in on the apropriate spot in WEB-INF/classes where it will override the one in mmbase.jar) > or is there some documentation on these changes ?
