Hi, it seems that you are trying to insert binary values into a character long column (long [ascii|unicode]). For binary values you should define your table column as long byte. The following code snippet gives an example on how to insert Blob/Clob values into the database using DBD::MaxDB.
my $rc; my $dbh = DBI->connect() or die "Can't connect $DBI::err $DBI::errstr\n"; print " Test 2: create table\n"; $dbh->{PrintError} = 0; $dbh->do ("DROP TABLE BLOBTEST"); $dbh->{PrintError} = 1; $rc = $dbh->do ("CREATE TABLE BLOBTEST (I INTEGER, L LONG ASCII)"); my $long_gen = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; my $long_description = $long_gen x 2000; print " Test 3: insert into table\n"; my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare ("INSERT INTO BLOBTEST (I, L) VALUES (?, ?)"); $rc |= $sth1->bind_param (1, 1); $rc |= $sth1->bind_param (2, $long_description); $rc |= $sth1->execute (); regards, Marco ----------------- Marco Paskamp MaxDB, SAP Berlin > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Sedlacek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Dienstag, 19.
