> Please note I have listed the versions where I tried this. Not listed version were not tested.
> If I have a table with a longBLOB field (but probably it happens for any type of BLOB column) and I define in func_odbc.conf an entry like
> {noformat}
> [READ_EXTENSIONS]
> dsn=asterisk1,asterisk2
> synopsis=Retrieve the extension data
> readsql=SELECT * FROM ex_extensions where id='${ARG1}'
> {noformat}
> Using a function like
> {noformat}
> Set(HASH(phone)=${ODBC_READ_EXTENSIONS(56)});
> {noformat}
> The same command, using any other type of column, gives no problems at all.
> Determines an increase of virtual memory usage in Asterisk... I have seen it getting up to 30 GB on a medium sized server.
> When this abnormal memory usage happens, asterisk continue to work, but it cannot spawn external processes, like from res_agi.c:
> {noformat}
> [2016-10-26 10:04:18] WARNING[26880][C-000002bb] res_agi.c: Failed to fork(): Cannot allocate memory
> {noformat}
