You'll have to find another data model since a RealDB only supports 8174
bytes per record.

As to how to actually use a long var binary column, the documentation is
very sparse.  I did see a reference in the list archive that Geoff made a
sample showing how to store a jpeg in a long var binary column.  (The
posting was from last March.)

Geoff, do you have a URL for your sample?
