[GENERAL] Working with large text blocks

[Clinton James]

I have some blocks of text than can be from 2K to 80K in size. I understand
7.1 will have compression to use with text, but does anyone know of a way I
can use these large text blocks as a field?  I'll have Win NT as a client
getting the data from a Linux box through ODBC so BLOBs don't appear a good
idea, or maybe I just don't understand.  Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
