Some data sources have restrictions on the number of binary large objects (BLOBs) that can be placed into a single table. If your data source has such restrictions, specify A_DBM_USE_CHAR_FOR_BINARY in the configuration file. The possible values for this variable are:
0 = use BINARY type
1 = use CHAR type
A non-zero value for A_DBM_USE_CHAR_FOR_BINARY lets you store data that uses the BINARY directive as hexadecimal encoded CHAR types. This allows you to work around your data source restriction. While the default value is "0" (off, false, no), this configuration variable can also take values of "On" (true, yes).
