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(b lob), I get an error telling me that loads wants a
string, not type array.array. So I go cPickle.loads(b lob.tostring()) instead
and it works.
My question is: has something changed in the Python API since this example was
written?
Here's my version of the code (change commented):
import MySQLdb, cPickle
def cookbook():
connection = MySQLdb.connect ('','root','xxx x','test')
cursor = connection.curs or()
cursor.execute( "CREATE TABLE justatest (name TEXT, ablob BLOB)")
try:
# Prepare some BLOBs to insert in the table
names = 'aramis', 'athos', 'porthos'
data = {}
for name in names:
datum = list(name)
datum.sort()
data[name] = cPickle.dumps(d atum, 1)
# Perform the insertions
sql = "INSERT INTO justatest VALUES (%s, %s)"
for name in names:
cursor.execute( sql, (name, MySQLdb.escape_ string(data[name])) )
# Recover the data so you can check back
sql = "SELECT name, ablob FROM justatest ORDER BY name"
cursor.execute( sql)
for name, blob in cursor.fetchall ():
print name, cPickle.loads(d ata[name]), \
cPickle.loads(b lob.tostring()) # note conversion
finally:
# Done, Remove the table and close the connection
cursor.execute( "DROP TABLE justatest")
connection.clos e()
if __name__ == '__main__':
cookbook()

see bug:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func= detail&aid=9758 31&group_id=223 07&atid=374932 >
''Cursor returns array instead of string for blob column type
The standard cursor class ('Cursor') used to return
MySQL blob row types as Python string values. In
version 1.0 it returns arrays containing a single item
with the string 'c' as key and the blob string as the
value.''
BTW i'm using this code:
pickle.loads(ro w['meta'])
to unpickle a blob field (in the 'meta' column)
from a mysql4's MyISAM table and it works as-is.
i'm using both mysqldb 1.0.0 (dev box) and
1.1.6 (on the server).
but i'm using DictionaryCurso r instead of classic
return-as-tuples Cursor.
cheers,
deelan.

It is the first time that I use blobs in mysql.
Please help me out here.....
Using MSSQLdb and python 2.3.4 I was surprised to see how my information was stored in the blob.
My goal is to store JPG images in the blob. Well, it stores it but as a string of bytes:
'x0dx0fxffxa3......'
So, when reading back that information into my python environment, it seems that I need to translate the value back to the original binary format?

Hi,
I would like to know if you could fix the bug I reported to you
some days ago.
The error is: "ERROR 1030: Got error 139 from table handler" after
running an update command using several blobs.
Now I am using mySql 4.0.15 and Linux. If you try to do the same
with mySql 4.0.14, the record that is updated is simple deleted.

I'm having a heck of a time grabbing a blob ( a jpeg image) from a

I am able to connect to the database and retrieve the data, however
when the page loads, it just spews the binary garbage rather than
displaying the image.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the purpose of escaping
nulls, and the use of addcslashes.
Firstly, the manual states that:
"Strictly speaking, MySQL requires only that backslash and the quote
character used to quote the string in the query be escaped. This
function quotes the other characters to make them easier to read in
