[Firebird-net-provider] FB, dotNet provider & BLOBs - appending binary data

[altialex <jo...@do...>]

First, cudos to all the people involved in FB project. Doing the great job,
hands down...

I'm looking into FB as an alternative to MSSQL we are using at the moment.
One important issue I'm wondering about is FB's capabilities of handling
large binary data. Ok, I'm determined to put an effort and get first hand
experience with FB and all it's features.
One detail still remains a mistery, though. I need a possibility to append
binary data to an existing BLOB field. Is this achievable using FB.NET
provider?

Regards, Alex.

Huummmm ... you can retrieve the blob value append data to the value (or 
remove it) and update the blob into the database, is this what you mean ??

Hello Carlos.

No. In MSSQL server there's an option of just appending binary content to
the BLOB (Image) field without retrieving previous one first and doing the
appending manyally. Something like this:

No, that isn't allowed.

I c...
Well, hope there's (or will be) a similar functionality in the lower level
API waiting to be exposed through FB.NET provider...
Never mind, keep up the good work Carlos. :)
