importing from binaryStream into BLOB field

[Beatrix Willius]

The code looks ultra complicated. Is there a reason why you can't use simply read and write for some bytes?

And no, there shouldn't be any encoding trouble for raw data or memoryblocks. The encoding should be nil. I'm using a Blob for saving text exactly for this reason.

Can you give us more details about what you write and what you get?

I tried playing with convertEncoding when reading/writing the memoryBlock, with no improvements.
