Hello,

Thanks for ya quick response..

Also plz lemme know the practical uses of graphic data type...
Already asked and answered. It is a good thing to read the replies before repeating the same question. As another type of example - go to ANY major web site and look at the amount of graphic data - those too are practical uses of graphic data. . .

DB2 supports graphic data. I suggest you do some research on this and post anything you find that is not clear. We may be able to explain what you find that is not clear.
