Hello,
is it possible to store MWord-Files or *.gif-files with OmniBase?
How?

Thanks

Not being a real OmniBase user I can only hazard a guess.  I use STS, and it
uses OmniBase.  I think you might try a ByteArray.  You can load the file
into a ByteArray, and then it seems that you can persist that.  Others may
know better...

As Cristopher already mentioned you can store bytes with OmniBase. Depending
of the class you are using to represent a MS Word document or a GIF image
you could store that too. As long as an object does not hold external
resources you can store it in OmniBase. If an object holds external
resources you will have to adapt serialization/deserialization to
disconnect/reconnect to external resource upon save/load.

BTW: Chris De Groot has setup an OmniBase swiki where OmniBase internals are
being discussed. See http://swiki.cdegroot.com/omnibase
