This happens in Coldfusion unless you click the checkbox in the
datasource screen that says 'Enable Blob support', but there is not
such checkbox in OpenBD.

Just so it's clear, this is really a database driver setting as opposed to anything to do with OpenBD specifically.

This relates to an issue that was pointed out by a couple of other folks with the administrator datasource forms, namely that the forms don't contain a "connection string" option, which would allow you to specify database connection options that are automatically appended to the end of the host string.

The good news is that this is fixed in the latest administrator code that's in SVN. So you can grab the latest admin code from SVN and add blobSendChunkSize to that field, or you could add this datasource to the bluedragon.xml file manually and add that option to the end of your host string. Editing the XML manually is probably quicker if you're looking for a fast/easy fix.

Let me know if you need help with this--this is easy to resolve using one of these options.

And a general comment--databases each have their own very long list of options that you can pass to them when you make connections, but if there are very common ones that people use, I can add them to the datasource forms to make everyone's lives a bit easier. Let me know which ones people would use most.
