1. The code import sys infile = open(sys.argv[1], "rb") data = infile.read() infile.close() class Images(SQLObject): image = BLOBCol() # or PickleCol, no difference... Images.createTable() image = Images(image=data) Images._connection.cache.clear() image = Images.get(1) outfile = open("test.dat", "wb") outfile.write(image.image) outfile.close() works for me for files up to 100M, but for bigger files OS just kills python process due to MemoryError. But if I have enough memory I don't think there would be any problem with bigger data. At least I don't see a difference between 100M and 500M. 2. The difference between the snippet and the way SQLObject uses Binary is that the snippet uses parameter(s) and SQLObject generates query strings. Well, query strings work for 100M binary files... 3. Are you sure you really want to transfer 500M in one piece to and from a database? Wouldn't it be better to use files and store filenames in the DB?
