Online Documentation for SQL Manager for DB2

Setting BLOB options


BLOB and arrays options

 

In this group of options you can determine whether BLOB fields are not to be extracted, extracted as strings, or extracted into a separate file (available for DB2, InterBase/Firebird, MS SQL, Oracle destination servers). If the latter is selected, you also need to specify the File name (the *.blo file where the BLOB data will be stored) and the location of the file on your local machine using the btnSaveAs button.

 

CheckBox Compress file

Check this option if you wish to compress the file containing BLOB data.

 

Compression

Define the desired compression level to be applied for the file: None, Fastest, Default, Best.

 

Export as SQL Script - Setting BLOB options

 

 

Note: If you choose to save BLOB fields in a file then afterwards this data can be restored only by using the SQL Manager for DB2 SQL Script tool.

 

 

Click the Next button to proceed to the Selecting fields to export step of the wizard.
