I agree!  

The TCS should not depend on segment size - it would be the first
application that I had heard of which does.

Subject:	[Firebird-test] Blob segmentation in gtcs.gdb

Hi,
after a long frustrating day, I finally found out
why the TCS fails to work with a gtcs.gdb created
by my import routines.

Some routines expect the blobs in INITS.OUTPUT to
contain a segment per line.

I now can either modify my import routines to
store the blobs in a way that the existing tcs can
handle them or change the tcs code to work with blobs 
regardless of segment size.

At the moment I would prefer the second solution, 
because I think it would be good to be able
to insert data into the tcs database with any
tool capable to do it.


Any comments?

Hi Frank

If we need to we can store ib-tests in our CVS tree just in a different
module so it's not part of the interbase download.  Ultimately it's not a
bad idea to have our own copy, and it's pretty easy to do.  

So if you eventually decide you need to make a change, I think we'll put
import it into our CVS tree.

Cheers

Mark

I had hoped that I could avoid this, but at the moment it seems
to me that I have to make some significant changes to the 
TCS code to get it to work as I would like it. So I will create
a new module as soon as I have something working. 

What about a module test (or ib_test or fb_test), which would contain 
the TCS source tree and a test pool?

I'm not so sure about this, BLOB_edit and the likes store
blobs exactly in this way, and there are these suspicious
BLOB_text_dump and BLOB_text_load in gds.h.
