Re: Informix vs Oracle BLOB management

According to our technical team the BLOB implementation from Informix is much more better than Oracle's one. Just a sample, in Oracle you can define only ONE BLOB type column in a table. From Pro*C you don't have to possibility to know the exact size of the blob you will download from the database, so you reserved the bigger memory space before receiving a BLOB. If you want to get more details, please let me know.
