[Sqlrelay-discussion] BFILE?

[John K. <kl...@gm...>]

The list archive is mum on the topic of BFILE data...  A google search
within the sqlrelay.sourceforge.net site is also mum.

[ I saw what looked like a mirror of the SQL Relay pages, but on a
foreign server (http://doc.dvgu.ru/db/sql_relay/faq.html), that said
something about BFILE support.  I'm guessing that's old/invalid
somehow, though. ]

Anyway, when I use the non-DBI perl bindings with SQL Relay, and query
for a BFILE column, I get back what appears to be the right number of
bytes (might not be -- not sure), but all of the characters in the
data are nulls (they look like ^@ in Emacs :-)).  When I use the DBD
perl bindings with SQL Relay, and do the same thing, I get a one- or
two-character chunk of data back (despite long-read-length set high,
and truncate set to false).

If I use regular DBD::Oracle, without SQL Relay, I get the whole BFILE back.

So is BFILE supported, and if so, is there a trick? :-)

Thanks.
