I saw this post:

is this possible now?

I am using the Adapter, but one of my Entities has a large Blob which I want to delay the loading for.

I understand that I can put the blob in another table and link to it, just checking if there is a neater way to achieve this.

Cheers!

Hang on with us, this is soon to be released in the coming free version upgrade (2.x).

As for now, you can use the Designer to map another entity (say "SlimEntity" simple_smile ) on the same table where you execlude the blob field. So you can use this SlimEntity as a start and when you need the blob field, you can go and load the corresponding original entity.
