TOraLoader and BLOB columns

Post by ramajana » Tue 11 Apr 2006 06:54

Hello,
I can't get TOraLoader to import a blob value. I can have it imported as string (TDPColumn.DataType := ctString), but this doesn't work well for large values. For example, if I use size of 4000, I can succesfully import blob up to that size. But if I want to import images, each of several MB, I run into problems. Tried setting length of such string column to maximum size of blobs in the table, but this throws memory exception.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Alex

With TOraLoader you can't load LOBs (except through String values). Use multiple INSERT statements instead.
