SUBJECT: ibm_db BLOB Support

 

Wondered whether there were any gotchas for using BLOBs in ibm_db.

I tried a migration -

add_column :table, :col, :blob, :limit => 2048

and it complained -

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.<<

So I simply used execute "raw SQL" to add the BLOB(2k) column I wanted.

Am I going to run into any problems with BLOBs with ibm_db ? I need this to store an encrypted value : already failed using CLOBs.

Any help / experiences / war stories welcome.

Thanks

Phil
