I am trying to retrieve a record from a table on the IBMi with a BLOB column, sic DXDOCS, via Relative Record Number. The table has a file-level trigger, but when I do the fetch, the after_read is not invoked. Is there an issue with invoking the trigger when fetching with_rrn?

Hi David: I don't know the answer but I was wondering what you were doing with the after_read trigger? Anything interesting related to the blob?

Art, we are in the process of removing the BLOB field from the table and putting the documents into a NAS. Our document table is already hundreds of gigabytes and growing daily. the goal is to put all the documents into a NAS and then have the BLOB field as a virtual field and use the trigger to retrieve, save, update, and delete the documents. Therefore, I am using a before insert,before update, and before delete to do the document management and the after_read to retrieve the document and assign it to the BLOB field.

Ok I see. Thanks
