DataScope Update includes new BLOB/CLOB Editor    

Posted by: Anonymous - on Saturday, March 12, 2005 - 07:39 AM
 
The DataScope JDBC plugin for Eclipse has been updated, and now includes a BLOB/CLOB editor.

If you are working with a table containing BLOB or CLOB fields, you can right-click on a table cell in the Table editor and select "LOB Editor" to view the field's contents in a type-appropriate viewer.

The LOB Editor can save the field's contents to a file, or update the field with the contents of an external file. It incorporates two built-in viewers, "text" and "image" (The Image viewer handles BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, and ICO data).

The Extensions SDK includes an example LOBViewer implementation that renders the BLOB field's contents as HTML. (As with all other aspects of the DataScope JDBC plugin, you can write simple classes to augment its functionality, and install them easily. The HTMLLOBViewer class is just one example.)

In addition, improvements have been made to the way the plugin updates the data in tables.
