Hi all, I have been trying to use the blob functionality within dbforms. And apart from my problems it works ok, but not quite.
I can upload and download images (blobs). I use MySQL LONGBLOB.... So far so good.... Now for my problems : 1) It seems the maximum length is about 64 KB, files larger than this give me a 'Check if uploaded file(s) exceeded allowed size'. ok, i can understand that, but where to put that allowed size ?? DBFORMS ? Where ?? maybe LONGBLOB in the XML file ?? MySQL : Should not matter, as its a LONGBLOB.... 2) How to determine whether a blob element is empty or not in JSP. I would like to blend in the (almost) standard paperclip if a attachment is present in a record. So I would like to do something like : <% if (currentRow_table.get("blob_1") == null) { %> ATTATCHMENT...... present <% } else { %> sorry, no attachment <%> Unfortunatly, above always evaluates to true.... perhaps something like ' == emptyblob()' /me confused Thanx, Fred ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
