Using ODBC and Delphi for Blob field

[John Olsen]

Using the code below with ADO and the ODBC connection to MySQL:

With datamodule1.ADOTable2 do
begin
edit;
TBlobField(FieldByName('Photo')).LoadFromFile('c:\Test.jpg');
//Post;
end;

I get the error message if I post:

[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysql-5.1.30-community]Got a packet bigger than'max_allowed_packet'bytes

Why? Or what is an alternate way to load a file in a blob field from Delphi? Or how do I adjust packet size?
