In the application we are building at the moment we need to store large parts of infomation. I.e large flat ASCI-files,
sometimes up to 700 KB each. So, to reduce the size of these files before we store it, we archived it using winzip or ARJ and stored it in a characterfield in our database. But after restoring it and trying to unzip the thing the archive is corrupted. When we compare the original archive with the one that has been stored in the database it seems that some values (NULL and Low) are transformed in spaces.
Does someone has a clue to our problem.
Thanks in advance.
