To view the NOTE data and images stored in the database, R:BASE includes the R:BASE BLOB Editor, an integrated display screen and editor for these specific data types. When a column is defined with a NOTE data type only some of the text is displayed in the "Data Browser" window. If there is an image stored in the table, then a small icon is displayed. These data types are stored in the fourth database file.
To open the R:BASE BLOB Editor:
1. | In the "Data Browser" window, [Tab] the cell focus to the right, until you are on the Place column. |
2. | Using the mouse cursor, double click the Place column. |
The "R:BASE BLOB Editor" will launch in a separate window. Only a small amount of data is stored in the column, but this tool allows the ability to add much more.
3. | Close the window to return to the Data Browser. |
