Missing Blob Offset

Post by hackchief »

I've been getting the following error message. 'Missing blob offset in the function TXgetblob'. Is this a schema problem?

Missing Blob Offset

Some versions of Texis would give this as a warning when retrieving a row that had an empty value put into the blob.

Missing Blob Offset

Post by Mr. Bigglesworth »

I believe we're getting this problem in the following way:

When we do an insert statement into a table with a blob field, and we don't reference the blob field, strange things happen, ie:

insert into mytable (NONBLOB1, NONBLOB2) values ('hello','there')


When I do a select afterwards, I actually get values appearing in my BLOB field, even though I never inserted any values into it! It's like it's pulling stuff from another record.

So I guess the question is: can we insert records into a BLOB-ed database without having to actually reference the blob field itself?
