Data types allowed in .cdb files
Hi,
CDBs support blobs just like MDBs do... However, there are a few
restrictions you should be aware of...
1. By default, these fields are *not* copied down to the CE device during a
conversion.
You must explicitly specify any & all blob fields that you want to be
copied. (When sync-ing a CDB
for the first time, you are presented with a treeview listing the tables and
fields of the MDB. You must
expand this list and make sure the blob fields are checked.)
2. CDB blobs are bound by the same limitations as CEDB blobs, which is to
say 65K bytes.
Other than that, you can use blobs just like any other field.
