Edit Binary Field

Feature Description

attribute tables support editing binary-type fields, allowing storage of various file formats as binary data in attribute table fields.

Steps

  1. Open the attribute table of a vector dataset or tabular dataset. In Workspace Manager, right-click the target dataset (vector or tabular), then select Browse Attribute Table from the context menu.
  2. Double-click a cell under binary field column. In the Open dialog, select a file and click Open to store it as binary data.
  3. Cells displaying BinaryData indicate stored values, while blank cells represent empty values.
Notes:
  • Binary type cells do not display specific binary values. All populated cells uniformly show BinaryData.
  • The length of binary fields displays as 0, indicating variable-length storage determined by the actual file content.
  • Files added to binary field cells must be closed and locally accessible. Open files or network files cannot be successfully added.
