We have a new CRM application that uses a DB2 7.2 database.
Our users noted that the CRM application would not allow them to attach and
store any documents over 2 meg in size. When asked, the vendor claims that
this behavior is a limit of the DB2 system. We asked the vendor how we might
get around this issue since most of our user's documents are over the 2 meg
limit. The vendor said that by removing logging from the blob fields the 2
meg limit on documents would go away.
Is this true?
We are now wondering, if logging is not being done on the blob fields, and
we have a problem where we need to do a restore and roll-forward, will the
data (documents) stored in the blob fields be lost?
Is this true?
Our users store data in MS Word format, PDF format, TIF format, Power Point
format and many other types typically associated with customers and the
marketing function.
Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

In DB2 LUW 8.2, logging of LOB columns is the default, but it can be
disabled for a particular column when the table is created. However, the
maximum size LOB than can be logged is 1 GB. I don't recall if the limit is
different for previous versions of DB2. If you have an previous version of
DB2 than is current, check the SQL manual for Create Table.
Keep in mind that such applications are usually written to work on multiple
databases, and there may a different restriction on a different database.

In addition, LOBs can have a maximum size of 2GB in DB2 UDB.

Thank you both for the most valuable information. It is very helpful to me
when talking to the CRM application vendor.
Is it true that if the logging is disabled for a particular LOB column, all
of the objects in that LOB will be lost should a backup need to be resotred
to recover the database?
Thanks,
John

You will lose the LOB column only if you restore from online backup.
You will not while restoring from offline backup.
You will lose the LOB column only if you restore from online backup
(with logging off). You will not while restoring from offline backup.
Thanks for the information.
You have been most helpful and I appreciate it!

I have over 5000 thumbnail pictures of size 5kb each. I would like to
able to load all 5000 pictures and view 50 per page using
mysql_data_seek(). I would like to know what are the advantages and
disadvantages of using a MySQL blob field rather than reading the
images directly from the file? How does one insert an image into a
blob field? Can it be done dynamically?
Thank you

Dear Group,
I'm connecting in C# with remote (BSD) MySQL server with ODBC Driver,
and I'm trying to find the best sollution in such problem:
As I've read on MySQL manual, they have suggested table design
including the BLOB-Fieldtype size in UInt64, where they've stored,
while inserting, the size of inserted BLOB data. But in the matter of
fact, I'm interested if it's necessary to include in table this integer
field? Is there any way...

I have a blob column that is 4MB in length. I need to change it to
store a 3GIG binary.
1) What is the maximum size a BLOB column can support?
2) How do i alter the size of an existing BLOB column?
3) I have an another column that is of type LONG VARCHAR. I would like
to alter it to a CLOB as there is a size limit of 32KB on LONG VARCHAR.
What is the best way to approach this conversion?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
