The DBKit Sybase adaptor apparently limits image and text data to 64 kb.  Brent
Loschen has posted some gnarly Sybase DBLib code that will write image data to
a database.  However, one of the main reasons I'm using DBKit is to avoid
such database-specific stuff.  Not being a Sybase programmer, I don't want to
spend time learning DBLib calls so that I can read and write large image and
text data when this should have been supported in the adaptor (and probably
eventually will be).

So has anyone written read/write methods/functions that I can treat as a black
box that he/she would be willing to share?  I need to be able to allow users to
record comments that will be stored in the database, so I need to read and
write a sizable Sound object.  I need to be able to store scanned photos and
documents as well, so these will be tiff files (and maybe faxes which I think
are stored in some sort of tiff format).

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
