FILE: ORALONG.EXE: Use RDO with Oracle LONG/LONG RAW DatatypesID: Q178875
|
The "Working with LONG, LONG RAW and VARCHAR2(2000) Oracle Datatypes" white
paper is intended to clarify the handling of the Oracle datatypes LONG,
LONG RAW and VARCHAR2(2000) when they are used with Microsoft Visual Basic
and Remote Data Objects (RDO). A sample project is attached that
illustrates storing and retrieving these datatypes. The project uses
straight Visual Basic 5.0 RDO code to store and retrieve this data as well
as using stored procedures.
NOTE: It is not recommended to store BLOB or Long Text data in a table. A
more efficient way is to store file pointers in the table that will locate
the actual files. Other Microsoft white papers go into detail on this
method.
