Hi Brian, I'd vote no. If you want it, it's easy to just keep another column with it. The only reason to keep this extra metadata for a column would be if drizzle wanted to process it in some way (and that seems like a bad idea, let the application handle it).
Do you have a particular use case of why this would be required (as opposed to just another column)? -Eric On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 05:20:08PM -0500, Brian Aker wrote: > Hi! > > What do people think about declaring a mime/type for blobs?
