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.
