Binary / Blob support,

[frett27]

Hi Patrice,

I'm using your Java File Geodatabase wrapper to read geodatabases and ran into an issue. There are some blob fields I'm trying to read out but it doesn't seem there are methods to do this via your wrapper. When reading through the documentation for the API it looks like there is a method row.getBinary that will return a byte array field, which seems like it could work to read the blobs.

Is there a reason the Java wrapper doesn't have this method?

Or, if I'm missing something, is there a way to read out the blob fields?

Thanks,
Jenna

@frett27 any update on this feature?

Hi Jenna, at every time, you can fork and adjust the elements,
from the analysis made a couple of time ago the blob api was not as mature as the new releases, i think moving to the latest version is a first step to your goal.
i can't commit myself yet on this feature, i currently does not have the bandwidth to work on this enhancement.
