Pls help :) Thanks Hi

Apparently BLOB type does not correspond to BLOB column affinity. Fixed by setting the data column where the ByteArray is bound to to NONE type (or blank). Ok, nevermind.

The way I got it working was to save the image to the db for the most part as you did, except for base64 encoding it before saving (not sure way, guessing has to do with where somewhere along the way ByteArray is converted to an actionscript String, though not sure on String charset). On retrieving, base64 decode to ByteArray, then use Loader.loadBytes to load the image. Works for me anyways. If anyone can figure why I had to encode to base64 (or maybe why I don't need to), and answer would be much appreciated.

Just I planned to do some thing similar to the Microsoft Thumbs.db approach as a part of my Adobe AIR application, and just tried to find out how to store the bitmap data into an SQL DB. And thus got this of your simple explanation... Nice to be read. I am going to Implement it. I like the way you did. thanks A lot. Hi Andrew

The <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/media/Sound.html#extract()" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sound.extract()</a> function will allow you to get a ByteArray of the sound, which is exactly what the encoder.encode(image.bitmapData) line does in the picture sample. In order to read the sound from the database, I think it will be a different story. My guess would be to write the ByteArray to a FileStream using <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/FileStream.html#writeBytes()" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">FileStream.writeBytes()</a>, save the stream as a temporary file, then load the file stream using URLRequest. Although I am sure there is a more elegant way of doing this using an in memory file reference...

Have you ever stored sounds in your database? I'm suprised it is such big problem to store sound blobs. Chris Hi,

I like your solution to the problem of using SQLite in Flex. Have you ever stored sounds in your database? I’m suprised it is such big problem to store sound blobs.
