image file

Hi all! Is it possible to store image file in an DataEase version and how to do that ... for sure I do know that file is a set of 1 and 0 and nothing more. Thank You!

Re:image file

The image in your post is stored in a DataEase Memo. 

However its stored as Base64 which the Web Element automatically convert it to when you paste it into it.

However Base64 is a very "inefficient" format so the size in the memo is quite much bigger than the binary version. 

We have worked on storing binary files in memo/DataEase and have done this but obviously it would need special handling as everything transported inside DataEase is text based.

We did this to test but concluded that it was not much point storing a file inside a file as images is quite big very often and with high resolution etc you would quickly reach the 4gb limit of a file.

To get it to work, you can just use a HTMLEdit field to paste/insert the field into the memo and a normal webfield to display it.

They will print etc. like normal image fields.
