Which IBX Blob type is the best

[pcerdaz]

Hy,

I would like to know which Blob type in IBX is the best to do
the same as Paradox Blob. In Paradox I used this data type to
associate an little image to each record of a PRODUCT table.
Now I want to do the same in IBX.

I will appreciate your comments,
pcerdaz

The default sub type 0 is fine. In fact, InterBase itself doesn't care about
sub-type, it always stores exactly whatever you give it, so you can always
let it default to 0, however as a convention, "Text" blobs are usually set
as sub type 1. Sub type is really for the programmer's benefit, not the
database.
