I am trying to store images (30KByte) into a blob field of an Interbase
mdb. I assign the image to a TDBImage but when I post it takes a lot
of time, even working with a local server. If I try to do the same with
a 300KByte image, it may even hang the application.

I have tried different approaches, such as doing the same using
SQL statements or using a stream to write to the field. In any case,
when the changes are posted it takes that much time.

On the other hand, if I try to store the same amount of info (30KByte)
into a TDBMemo, it works pretty fast.

Does anybody know why it doesn't work as well for images? Is there
something I am missing?

Any comments are appreciated
