mysql blob

7 New Member
Hello Everybody

Can anybody tell me when to save images in mysql blob and when save image folder and save the image name in database.
which is more better saving image into database or save it name into database and image itself into folder.

I would never store an image in the database. Just leave the images themselves in an image folder and store its name in the MySQL table.

Is there any PHP function that will allow me to determine the MIME type of a blob stored in MySQL? Specifically, if I'm storing an image as a blob in MySQL, is there any PHP function that can determine whether it's a gif, jpeg, png, etc? -- http://www.sugapablo.com <--music ] http://www.sugapablo.net <--personal ]

I've been testing the Cookbook example 8.6 (2002 edition) re using cPickle to insert and retrieve BLOBs from mySQL, using Python's MySQLdb module. When I try to cPickle.loads(blob), I get an error telling me that loads wants a string, not type array.array. So I go cPickle.loads(blob.tostring()) instead and it works. My question is: has something changed in the Python API since this example was written?

Hi, I have a blob field in a mysql database table. I want to copy a blob from one record to another. I am having trouble transferring the data via a php variable. Maybe I need to addslashes or convert to Hex or something. I've tried a few things but can't quite get it. Here is simplified code. mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection);

Dear Group, I'm connecting in C# with remote (BSD) MySQL server with ODBC Driver, and I'm trying to find the best sollution in such problem: As I've read on MySQL manual, they have suggested table design including the BLOB-Fieldtype size in UInt64, where they've stored, while inserting, the size of inserted BLOB data. But in the matter of fact, I'm interested if it's necessary to include in table this integer field? Is there any way...

So I need to load lots of data into my database. So I discover LOAD DATA INFILE. Great! This little gem loads my CSV in blazing times (compared to parsing the file and doing INSERT for each row). Its still slow on large files, but just barely acceptable. Only one problem. It truncates fields to 256 characters, even on a text field.

Hi all, I've run into a strange error while trying to store some PNG images in a MySQL database using MySQLdb. When I try to insert smaller images (< 64kb or so) everything seems to work fine. When I start trying to insert larger images (~150kb), however, the images get corrupted along the way. The result is that only part of the image, e.g. the top 30% of the image, is stored in the database, and the rest is simply transparent.
