Blob as a Field

[ernesttan1976]

Hi,

Does Nubuilder support Blob as a field type?
It would allow files to be stored inside Mysql instead of externally.

The input:file is available in the FastForm Builder in nuBuilderForte.

Thanks Muthu, I will try it out

[ernesttan1976]

it doesn't let me save large pdf files like less than 3 MB even.
Tried largeblob, mediumblob, blob, all failed to save.

Files
nuBuilder Forte has an Upload File facility and an Input:File Object is to allow simple things like photos, pictures or logos.

Because files are converted to JSON it's not practical to use this as a general method for storing bigger files over 300 Kb.

As the conversion process can take a while.

Unless someone has a better idea, you could first upload the file to the server
and in PHP AS,insert the file into a blob field.
