Dear list denizens,
I know it is possible to store/retrieve a graphic in
REALSQLdatabase as a binary object. The way to do it is as
intuitively obvious as getting an elephant through my front door.
RB (2006R3). I have a canvas where my graphic will go and it seems
that no property will go with the update statement for my db
record. The SQLExecute with the update statement is expecting a
string, it seems. Does anyone know of any very simple example code
anywhere that does this? There is nothing like a simple example to
learn how. RB makes some things so easy and others that would seem
easy, are like getting to the moon.
You need to serialize the Picture to a PNG image or JPEG image, you
can either do this in memory with plugins or you can do it with
REALbasic by first writing the image to a temp file and then
streaming the temp file to the database.
We supply a plugin that does this: http://www.einhugur.com/Html/
GraphicsFormats/index.html
And there are at least two other 3rd party Plugins that also offer
similar solutions.
