Re: Inserting Blob TEXT data

ODBC does have SQL_LONGVARCHAR (probably the closest equivalent to TEXT) and SQL_LONGVARBINARY (probably closest to BYTE). Which is not to say that all ODBC drivers or all environments work particularly well with text or byte fields; we've gotten text fields to work with Visual Basic, but byte fields have been a pain. -- William Harris william@carsinfo.com
