From: pablitoman on 26 Mar 2010 01:25 Not sure if this belongs in the rails forum or here (it's a little of both)... I'm using rails 2.3 and I'm trying to compress (gzip) text that I'd like to save using ActiveRecord into a sqlite database. However, the compressed text isn't being saved b/c I get this type of error: SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'x##UË#7 Any thoughts on what I can do to avoid this error? should I compress the text in some other fashion? should I save the data using some other method(s)? TIA!!! Relevant code is below. ########################################### # compress my text require 'zlib' defl = Zlib::Deflate test_string = "<h3>some text</h3>some additional text<p>here's some more text</p>" compressed_string = defl.deflate(test_string) => "x\234\263\3110\266+\316\317MU(I \255(\261\321\207\361\022SR2K2\363\363\022s \022\005v\031\251E \251\352\305\n`\331\334\374\"\230\206\002;\000\0225\027\222" ModelClass.new(:attribute1 => compressed_string).save ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'x#####+##MU(I#(#Ñ####2K2#### v#E#### ################################################

I had a bug in my code when I was testing your suggestion. converting the columns to blob worked perfectly. TKS! |
