I am new to Ingres, and I am trying to develop a system of
recording and referencing office memos. I understand that a
field in Ingres is limited to around 2000 characters; most of
our memos exceed that limit by a lot. I am looking for advice
on how to deal with text in general. I suspect I may be able
to do one of two things: direct a pointer out to a disk file,
or use a 3GL (most likely C) to develop a support program.
As I said, I am looking for general advice on how to manipulate,
search, and file textual data. I would appreciate any responses.
NOTE: I am calling long-distance to use my account which allows
me access to usenet. I do not read this area regularly by
any means. Please directly e-mail your kind responses to

Thanks! Bill Burtle
