Support for direct access to BLOB / BINARY fields
07 January 2024
As of this version, BINARY database fields such as VARBINARY, LONGBLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, TINYBLOB, IMAGE and BLOB can now also be processed directly. Previously, such fields were always dealt with by a downstream call of the associated database driver. However, in some situations this was not always possible, for example where the primary key differed, and this resulted in processing taking considerably longer. By directly processing BLOB / BINARY fields there is a significant increase in processing speed. What’s more, SQL INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE scripts can now be generated for these BLOB or BINARY database fields.

Both Adapters are presently still in ALPHA and for this reason are not included in the official release. If you want to test these Adapters you need to use the current developer BETA version.
