>It does sound like a lot more space may be used up storing Blobs this way.
>I wonder if the effect is constant or if it is only noticed if you have a few Blobs to store in the FPT.
Try it! I tried it with a single General Field (=BLOB), and rashly extrapolated to 1000 files.
Just create a small table with a General Field, and use (I think) APPEND, followed by APPEND GENERAL, to fill the general fields with some sample JPGs.
>Maybe it is a one off penalty and does not get much worse if you add a lot of Blobs.
Actually, I compared the empty file, with the filesize after adding one JPG. But it may still be interesting to compare what happens when you add 10, or 100, JPGs.
You can probably add the same JPG 100 times, in a loop.
