Normally, database API has special functions for handling binary columns. Suppose I have a long raw datatype in an Oracle database, which is used to store an image, a word file, or some other binary file (it doesn't really matter). In a normal DB API from C, you wouldn't try to insert the value of the column in a query, but use some special method of handling large objects. With ZSQL Database adapters, the question is: how do I handle raw data? I want the user to be able to use a CGI Upload facility to upload a binary file of a mysterious type that could contain anything. and I want it to go into a long raw data column in Oracle. So how do I do this in ZSQL/DTML? -- Ken Kinder 303.381.7631
