Importing/exporting general BLOB binaries

The Paradox, dBASE and FoxPro data tables do have the capacity to store large binary data (Binary Large Objects, BLOB), though it may some times be a better solution storing these as external files using tables fields containing links information for the external files.

However, in-table storing (technically it is stored in the associated BLOB file) is a possibility, which may be beneficial securing the integrity of data collection.

Technically it is possible to store any binary data in tables this way.

For the dBASE (level 5 & 7) binary data field the illustrated generic BLOB dialog may be forced to open in preference of the graphic dialog by pressing the [Ctrl] key when double clicking the table's data field.
