Hello everybody!
Nice to meet so excellent community.

My problem is next. I'm trying to use web2py with *external* sqlite 
database formed by another program. One of the column of those database 
consists of binary data of pdf docs. So I defined that field in model 
*Field('pdf_binary','blob')*. I'm using SQLFORM.grid to modify my table 
(not blob column). When I submit changes they are accepted but data in 
'pdf_binary' become corrupted (it seems it has just begging of file data).

Moreover when I try to extract binary data from blob field I also get just 
part of data, but when I change field type to 'text' for e.g. ,
*Field('pdf_binary','text')* I can extract normal data, but in this case I 
get "the query contains a null character" error when i try to submit 
changes in SQLFORM.
I can't use upload field, because my binaries was made by another program 
and it also raises errors when updating db.
It seems that blob type is right choice for my aims, but it doesn't worked 
I predicted.

I will be thankful for all advices.
Regard
Viktor
