NAME

       PX_set_blob_file — Associate blob file with database

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_set_blob_file(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION

       Opens or creates the given blob file and associates it with the Paradox
       database. This function must be called before accessing  records  whose
       blob data is stored in a .MB file. It must also be called after opening
       or creating the paradox database. If the blob data is contained in  the
       record  itself or can be stored in the record, this function may not be
       called.

       This function must be called after opening  or  creating  the  database
       file,  because  it  uses the same file open mode. If you call it before
       PX_open_file(3) or PX_create_file(3)            it will  quit  with  an
       error.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a value < 0 in case of an error, otherwise 0.
