Hi all,
It was my understanding (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) that
BLOB data actually reside on their own separate pages and a BLOB field
only holds a pointer to the location of the actual data, therefore the
BLOB data per se would not get written to the log, only the pointer
would be written.
If log shipping works by applying the transaction log to the standby
database, then what happens to the BLOB data?
Related question, how does transactional replication work? Is it also
based on the transaction log?
TIA,
Ellen

A BLOB normally resides on its own page. However, this page is also
logged, else ROLLBACK TRANSACTION would be very tragic.

It's shipped as well.

Yes. I don't remember the exact details, but basically log entries are
sent to the distributor which spreads them around. Note an important
feature of transacional replication is that what is a transaction in
the publisher, is also a transaction in the subscribers.

Hi Erland,
Thanks so much. So I think I can use log shipping for my availability
/ disaster recovery plan, the BLOB data was my only worry.

It goes without saying that you have not completed the work with setting
up a recovery plan, until you actually have simulated a disaster recovery.
(And depending on your availability requirements, is something that should
be exercised with some frequency.)

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

I have to add a date column to a db2/zos table with a blob column.
Can I rename the blob table to old,
create a new table with the date column,
then insert/select the data from the old table?
Do I have to select data from the main table and the aux table or is the aux
table done automatically?
What's the best way to handle this?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
