Description
The following example copies the data in the Graphic field of Table1 or SQLDataSet1 to the Pictures field of ClientDataSet1.
Code
var
myBlobField : TBlobField;
procedure TForm1.CopyDataSourceClick(Sender: TObject);

Stream1: TBlobStream;

blobType : TBlobType;
begin
blobType := myBlobField.BlobType;
DBImage2.DataField := 'Pictures';
Stream1 := TBlobStream.Create(myBlobField, bmRead);
try
CDS2.Edit;
{ This is a different way to create a blob stream. }
Stream2 := CDS2.CreateBlobStream(CDS2.FieldByName('Pictures'), bmReadWrite);
try
Stream2.CopyFrom(Stream1, Stream1.Size);
// CDS2.Post;
// CDS2.Active := True;
finally
Stream2.Free;
end;
finally
Stream1.Free;
end;
end;
