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.

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.
