NAME

       PX_set_blob_file — Associate blob file with database

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_set_blob_file(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION

       Opens  or  creates  the  given blob file and associates it with the Paradox database. This
       function must be called before accessing records whose blob data is stored in a .MB  file.
       It must also be called after opening or creating the paradox database. If the blob data is
       contained in the record itself or can be stored in the record, this function  may  not  be
       called.

       This  function must be called after opening or creating the database file, because it uses
       the same file open mode. If  you  call  it  before  PX_open_file(3)  or  PX_create_file(3)
                    it will quit with an error.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a value < 0 in case of an error, otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

       PX_open_file(3), PX_create_file(3)
