Hi Thomas

The size at the end of the BINARY declaration is for only there for 
compatability with other databases. InstantDB ignores it. So no matter 
what size you specify, sou should be able to store any size of object.

Regards

Pete

Subject: InstantDB: Size of BINARY columns?

> Hello everybody,
> 
> I just started working with BINARY columns.
> My question is: To what size should I limit such columns?
> I tried BINARY(1) and saved a really big text file.
> That worked fine. I also tried it without any restriction of
> size, same result. So what is the effect of limiting BINARY
