Hello All, I am trying to retrieve BLOB data stored in Oracle 9i database using ADO streams. The saving of BLOB data to the database is fast, but the retrieval from the database is very slow. It takes more than 1 minute to retrieve a 6 MB file. I have also tried using AppendChunk/GetChunk methods, but there is no difference in the performance. Can anyone please suggest an alternative fast method of huge (around 100MB) of BLOB data from the database? Thanks in advance. Regards, Purvi Dholakia
