DBEXPRESS DRIVER FOR SYBASE ASE BLOB DEMO

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your interest in the VISOCO Software offering.

In this demo we demonstrate the dbExpress Sybase Driver features.
Here we demonstrate how to load/unload text files and image files to/from the BLOB
field of the database.

For demonstration we used:
- Borland Kylix 2, 3
- VISOCO dbExpress driver for Sybase ASE
- Database server Sybase ASE

In this demo we did not intent to provide a complete description of how to work 
with the BLOB fields using the dbExpress technology and Sybase ASE, but we 
only tried to share some ideas and express our own view on how it can be done.

STEP BY STEP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After opening the *.dpr file you will see the project form. 

1. Button "Create Table" - creates the "test_blob" table in the "test_blob" database
2. Button "Insert 1" - inserts corresponding text and image files to the test_blob 
   table (licence.txt, visoco.bmp).
3. Button "Insert 2" - inserts corresponding text and image files to the test_blob
   table (readme.txt, visoco1.bmp).
4. Button "Show Records" - displays data from the test_blob table. 
5. Button "Save Blob" - saves BLOB to the output.txt file and the output.bmp file.
6. Button "Drop table" - removes the "test_blob" table from the "test_blob" database. 


In order to get satisfactory results, please follow the instructions. In case you
skip some steps, error messages may appear.
