Hi Tim,
I might be interested in
collaborating as I am presently writing
an offline reader that gets NNTP news
and puts it in postgres. (I have already
done this in C++ but I want to port it
to Java.) If nothing else, you are
welcome to the C++ code. Word of
warning, I have been doing C++ for 11
years but this is my first attempt at
Java! :-) Another word of warning, :-)
I am an itinerant consultant and I tend
to get called off to work in the middle
of personal projects like this! :-)
Right now my C++ program uses LOBs. I
think Herouz is right, however. She
suggested splitting >8K fields into
multiple text fields. E.g. you would
have a table (for nntp news) like :
create table MsgBodies
(
MsgId Text ,
ChunkNumber int ,
MsgBody Text ,
primary key (MsgId , ChunkNumber)
) ;
The majority of nntp msgs would just
have one entry, but a few would be split
into two or more entries.
