title: Saving / Retrieving DBGrid column settings: Columns.LoadFromStream and Columns.SaveToStream
body: <p>I am actually after some ideas to how to address my problem below:</p>
  
  <p>I have TCRTBGrid that users can move columns around and change the width. I want to save the setting in a database. I guess I can do this bit by using</p>
  
  <p><code>Columns.LoadFromStream and Columns.SaveToStream</code>
  then store data in a blob field - Q: Can I store in a longtext field ?</p>
  
  <p>but the biggest problem is that if new columns were added during design time after saving the column settings i want to append these new columns to the end.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.  </p>
