Mike its actually better that the object is stored in the root IFS as its a
byte stream file system rather than being in QSYS, which makes it faster to
serve. The database link will then allow you to put constraints against the
object so it cant be deleted as it exists in the database. I am also quite
happy with it being SQL only and look forward to the functionality.

Thanks
Bleddyn

BLOB stands for  Binary Large OBjects.  Typically a BLOB would be used for

database;  instead a pointer to a file containing the BLOB is stored in the
database.  Another limitation has been the historic 16 Meg limit on BLOB's
that
I believe V4R4 eliminated as of May....
