>1.) I have Personal Oracle 8.0.4.0.0 and even though the on-line docs discuss BLOB's, when I create a new table, i can't choose BLOB as a datatype. Does personal oracle 8 allow BLOBs???

Personal Oracle doesn't have BLOBS.
Try:
CREATE TABLE BLOBTEST (myblob blob);


>2.) Can BLOBs be mapped to VFP memo fields in remote views?

I think so. But I don't use remote views. But a blob maps to a memo field
when you use ODBC for Oracle ODBC driver and not when you use Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle. So I believe it has to do with the ODBC driver you choose.
I'm not using them until Microsoft fixes it's driver the oracle driver has problems with VFP.
