How can I read a binary value from a blob via ODBC (Microsoft VFP
driver-win32all)? The value seems to be truncated at the first '\0'

Maybe posting a very small snippet of code which reproduces the
problem would help get you responses. I can't help, as I don't
know what VFP driver-win32all is, but if there was example code I
might be able to see the problem anyway, and others more expert in
this area would likely see the problem right away.

This is the sample code: It should dump all the certificates to the
certs directory...
What I suspect is that python thinks that the certif field is a STRING
and it's truncated when the first '\0' occurs...
(The data is stored completely in the database as an equivalent
C-program works fine...)
Sample output: reload (Test)
[('csernum', 'STRING', 80, 80, 0, 0, 0), ('certif', 'STRING', 0,
2147483647, 0, 0, 0)]
csernum
certif
import dbi, odbc
def ReadCmail():
result = { 'Result' : 'OK' }
# Microsoft Visual FoxPro ODBC DNS
# Database type: Free table directory
dbc = odbc.odbc('CEC' )
cursor = dbc.cursor()
query = "SELECT CSERNUM,CERTIF FROM C_MAIL"
cursor.execute( query)
row = cursor.fetchone ()
for row in iter(cursor.fet chone, None):
# Dump certif to file
FileName="C:\\C ERTS\\%s.crt" % row[0]
CertFile = open(FileName, "wb")
CertFile.write( row[1])
CertFile.close( )
print cursor.descript ion
for tup in cursor.descript ion:
print tup[0]
cursor.close()
dbc.close()
return result
ReadCmail()

Python itself does not care about '\0' in a string, and will happily
handle strings with any kind of binary data.
At the least, then you need to look lower, perhaps at the ODBC wrapper
code itself, perhaps at the database schema or something. Are there
multiple types of string that can be stored in the database, and you've
picked one that is effectively null-terminated? Or, wait a minute, your
subject line is "reading BLOB", yet you are dealing with strings in
some way, given this: reload (Test)
[('csernum', 'STRING', 80, 80, 0, 0, 0), ('certif', 'STRING', 0,
2147483647, 0, 0, 0)]
Surely that is the cause of the problem, at least indirectly? Isn't
there some kind of BLOB data type instead?

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 all,
I'm dealing with a very tricky problem and can't seem to find the
answer with google. the problem is: i want to store huge data
(binaries) inside a mysql databases blob - to later store those data to
a file somewhere else (from where i can connect the database).
problem comes into play, when I try to output a "progress" of the
reading of this data (kind of "xx bytes of XXX bytes already
transmitted").

i want to read and write blob data from access2000 using dao3.6, but i
found
it is slower than ado. As i know, reading access with dao is the best
way,
what happens?
the mdb file i want to read contains a table with 150000 rows and a
blob field, i wish to fetch all rows in 3-4 secondes.
What can i do, improving the speed of i/o read and write or improving
the

Hi Community,
I think I can store Binary Data in SQL Server but when I try to retrieve it,
I always only get one byte.
I think I stored my Binary Data in SQL Server in a Colum of Type Image. At
least when I execute the following code, I get some significant network
traffic. When I check the database with query analyzer, I see 4 Hex Chars in
the image colum. Like 0xe0 etc.
