TEXT and BYTE (LOB) types
Informix®
Informix provides the TEXT
,
BYTE
, CLOB
and BLOB
data types to store very
large texts or binary data.
Legacy Informix 4GL applications typically use the
TEXT
and BYTE
types.
Genero BDL does not support the Informix
CLOB
and BLOB
types.
SQLite
SQLite 3 provides the TEXT
and BLOB
native data types for large
objects storage.
Solution
The SQLite database interface can convert BDL TEXT
data to SQLite
TEXT
and BYTE
data to SQLite BLOB
.
The
TEXT
and
BYTE
types translation can be controlled with the following FGLPROFILE
entries:dbi.database.dsname.ifxemul.datatype.text = {
true |
false }
dbi.database.dsname.ifxemul.datatype.byte = {
true |
false }
