How can I save blob data in SQLServer using ZSQLs? I'm using mxODBC. I have a ZSQL that looks something like this:
update table_name set blob_data = <dtml-sqlvar "i_blob_data" type="nb"> where conditions.... But I get the following error when I run the above ZSQL:
ProgrammingError: ('07002', 0, '[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]COUNT field incorrect or syntax error', 6108)
You cannot use "ZSQL" to put binary (blob) data into the database. You can have some chance when you use base64 encoding -- provided, your data is not too large.
An easy work-around would be to store your blob in the zodb and then store the path/id of the zodb object in your SQL db.
