Which subtype of BLOB? IIRC, BLOB subtype 1 (text) should support character sets, so you don't have to lose non-ASCII characters. If it's a binary blob (subtype 0) you can also try to dump the contents to a file (using FBExport or your code) and then import it back into a new subtype 1 blob. -- Milan Babuskov ================================== The easiest way to import XML, CSV and textual files into Firebird: http://www.guacosoft.com/xmlwizard ================================== ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Resources item on the main (top) menu.
