I don't know about Postgre, but not only does PrimeBase handle large text fields, but it has a feature called "index words" that will allow you to index large text fields by word. It works great.
PrimeBase has a great way of handling blobs for text and binary info. There are varbin, and varchar fields, but they are limited to a 32K per row limitation. Varchar and varbin fields are stored within the actual table file in the database, and therefore fall under this limitation. However, there are longbin, and longchar fields which primebase stores in separate files, so they are only limited in size by the filesize limit of the operating system. -- Robert Garcia BigHead Technology 2781 N Carlmont Pl Simi Valley, CA 93065 Phone 805.501.1390 Fax 805.522.8557 http://www.bighead.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: Alex Kac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Fri, 02 Aug 2002 16:16:06 -0500 > To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Database question > > That would be such a big plus for me.
