Hello Gora,
thank you for the reply - i did finally get this to work. i had to cast the column in the DIH to a clob - like this. cast(att.attr_val AS clob) as attr_val, cast(rsr.rsr_val AS clob) as rsr_val, once this was done, the ClobTransformer worked. to my knowledge - this particular use case and the need for the cast is not documented anywhere. i checked the solr wiki and searched the threads on this forum for things like clobtransformer, informix and blob without luck. i also did quite a few google searches as well but no luck (but maybe i missed something ;) maybe this is just some "edge case". i also realize that informix is not that common. i have a question in to the solr developers list - just so i can better understand what actually is happening, why it was necessary for the "cast", and the limitations / parameters of the ClobTransformer. the thread on the developers list is located here: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/have-developer-question-about-ClobTransformer-and-DIH-td4064256.html thx mark -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/having-trouble-storing-large-text-blob-fields-returns-binary-address-in-search-results-tp4063979p4064286.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
