If you use Metabase it allows you to create prepared queries where you can pipe data from blob returned by a select query to a blob to be updated or inserted by another query, with minimal memory usage, thus allowing to manipulate large sized blobs. Metabase is a database independent abstraction layer so it works with many supported databases: http://www.phpclasses.org/metabase -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
