[Firebird-net-provider] FbDbType.LongVarBinary removal question

[<car...@te...>]

Hello:

I'm thinking on remove FbDbType.LongVarBinary element in 1.6 sources, i 
think it's not really needed as we have already a FbDbType.Binary 
element that has the same meaning and i think that it's more correct for 
binary blobs.

But i want to know first people opinions :)

P.S.: I have plans for release the 1.6 Alpha 1 this week after have 
finished some changes in the Array data type support.

Dear Carlos,

My humble two cents: From point view of an ex-SQL Server programmer, I would
think FbDbType.LongVarBinary represents Firebird binary blobs better than
FbDbType.Binary. If they represents the same binary blobs, LongVarBinary
will tell people like me what it really is.
Thank you for bring us this wonderful product.

FbDbType.LongVarBinary does not tell anything except it is a binary form. To
get
the actual size of a binary, programmer still need to access the Size so
FbDbType.Binary
should be fine.
