The way we had implemented this is to simply to copy the text of a resume to a text field containing the text of the resume and store the actual resume in the blob record.

When some of our users wanted to query, we would simply do the query on the text field.

I was hoping there was a better way.

Oracle and MS SQL allow for documents to be store(most db's can do this) and queried(I was hoping rbsql could do this).

Thanks...

Thanks Marco,

Is it possible to do a search in the item inside the blob tho?

In the case of our resumes, I need to be able to do a query on the actual documents sitting inside the blob.

SQLiteProPlugin was based on the old sqlite 2 engine which didn't support binary data. The new sqlite 3 engine (the one under the REALSQLDatabase) fully supports BLOB data.

I am porting or atleast planning on porting an App to RB that I need it to query the blob record.

Simply, I have resumes that we have saved in a blob field. The resumes are in MS WORD format and I need to query the actual information in the blob field. How possible, and feasible is it to do such a query.

In the past, I tested a photo asset management solution in RB
an SQLiteProPlugin.

While - in general - the system seemed to work, I found serious problems regarding mass-importing the contents of a folder. Don't ask for details. Can't
remember right now.

I don't say it's impossible, I just want to propose early stress testing - in case
mass importing and such like is of interest.

I'm pretty sure, that SQLIte would be 'strong' enough.
