Question

How can I INSERT and RETRIEVE with SQL language, an HTML document from a BLOB field into db2 on ibmI ??

I put the testing.html inside fylesystem but I don’t know if this way is correct or if I can also use a file into my local PC.

I tried this code from STRSQL without success:

INSERT INTO LIB/FILE VALUES('','C','000001',BLOBFROMFILE(/PATH/testing.html))

Is it possible to enter an HTML document type or is there another type field to manage it?

After this procedure I need also a SQL string than can read it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

$data = file_get_contents("/PATH/testing.html");
$data = mysql_real_escape_string($data);
$query = "INSERT INTO FILE VALUES('','C','000001','$data')";
mysql_query($query);

edit:

linux file system

lets assume you are working on /var/www/username/public_html/ folder

when u try /PATH/testing.html

program looking for /PATH/testing.html

direct access to root folder probably u dont have that right

in the other hand when you try PATH/testing.html ( no / at start )

program look for /var/www/username/public_html/PATH/testing.html
