Very large data types

Informix^® uses the TEXT and BYTE data types to store very large texts or images.

Genero db 3.6 provides CLOB and BLOB data types, and provides TEXT/BYTE synonyms for Informix compatibility.

Solution

The TEXT and BYTE data types are supported by Genero db and by the Genero db database driver.

Note: Genero TEXT/BYTE program variables have a limit of 2 gigabytes, make sure that the large object data does not exceed this limit.
