Hello,
I have a table in the database that has a BLOB field to store images,
which is usually more than 1MB per record. There are currently near
9000 records in it, which means the table is growing to be huge. Will
this slow the database performance significantly? If so, how to reduce
the image size? Does DB2 provide a way to compress a column data?
Thanks.

Isn't your image already compressed (e.g. JPEG).
Compressing a compression typically is very ineffective.
You can also use commonly available compression routines and wrap them
in a UDF.

Thanks for the reply and info! The images are NOT already compressed,
and they are bmp files. They are now considering to compress the images
before storing them in DB2.

Hi,
I am creating a global temporary table that is session-specific. I
insert a BLOB into this table, and then select the BLOB from this
table into a ResultSet. The ResultSet sees this BLOB object, and I am
able to get the binary input stream from this blob. However, when I
invoke InputStream.read(byte) on this input stream, I get the
following exception:
java.io.IOException: ORA-01410: invalid ROWID

Hello,
I've to manage many 'table' (having same scheme) on the same server.
And I ask myself what could be the best to do (and if you know, why) :
Creating as many database (the name would be a 8byte int value
(converted to a string)) as necessary, all with the same table struct
(and table name), or create 1 database and in it create also as many
table as necessary (so also a 8byte int value as name) ?

Hi,
One of our third-party software vendors is planning to implement BLOB
in their database for storing certain documents. We are not too
thrilled about it, since it can be a drain on our resources, but I
would like to get the expert opinion out there on the pros and cons of
implementing this.
Also, the database is in Full recovery mode and we back up the

What would give better performance, serializing a multidimensional array
and storing it in a single entry in a table or storing each element of
the array in a separate table and associating the entries with the entry
in the other table?
Having a separate table would result in two queries instead of one, but
you wouldn't have to deal with the overhead of serializing and
unserializing data.

So I need to load lots of data into my database.
So I discover LOAD DATA INFILE.
Great! This little gem loads my CSV in blazing times (compared to
parsing the file and doing INSERT for each row). Its still slow on
large files, but just barely acceptable.
Only one problem. It truncates fields to 256 characters, even on a
text field.

Hello Members,
I am setting up a photo website. I have decided to use PHP and MySQL.
I can load jpeg files into the table (medium blob, or even longtext)

chunk_split(data) and the base64_encode and base64_decode on the files.
I do a select from the database, and then echo the image (with
