Is there a way to modify snitz forum to support Oracle 7/8 and Interbase 6? Is there some work already in progress? If not, which code must I change (primary to adjust the create table statements)?

Thanks

Stefan,

Oracle 8i support is being worked on, but delayed a bit because of real life obligations.
Check out the Oracle Forum for info on that.
Interbase 6 support has been attempted, but didn't seem possible because of the way Interbase handles BLOBS.

Where ist the problem in the blob-handling of interbase?

Perhaps we could help? We work with interbase since version 4 and do a lot of ASP with it.

Well...I got the tables to be created ok without a problem in Interbase.
The only problem was that I needed to be able to insert and read BLOB values.
Because we use those (MEMO in Access, TEXT in Sql Server) to store the messages.

(Another problem was that it was rather hard to find a decent free ODBC driver)

Could you provide me with an example of a asp-script that reads and writes a blob value from a table ?
