When I ran the following queries it worked.

For saving pdf file into blob col

Code: Select all

insert into test1 ( pdf_col ) values ( load_file( 'd:/sample.pdf' ) )
For saving pdf file from blob col

Code: Select all

select pdf_col from test1 INTO DUMPFILE 'd:/samplecopy.pdf'

I've seen it, but the client does not have access to the server and to use the load_file must be the file on the server

continue to seek a solution
in php you add "/" to load a pdf file

My partner find the solution for save a pdf into blob field

my partner found the solution to save a pdf on a blob field

you just have to base64 encode and save pdf

cbuff:=hb_base64encode(cbuff)

and to write the pdf

hb_base64decode(oRow:fieldGet("contenido"))


I hope this is useful
