Hello,
I try to write a python application with wx that shows images from a
MySQL database. I use the following code to connect and get data when
some event was triggered:
dbconn = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="...", passwd="...",
db="images")
dbcurs = dbconn.cursor()
dbcurs.execute("""SELECT imgdata FROM images LIMIT 1""")
imgstring = dbcurs.fetchone()[0]
frame.showImage(imgstring)
Within my frame, the following method is defined:
def showImage(self, imgstring):
imgdata = StringIO.StringIO()
imgdata.write(imgstring)
print imgdata.getvalue()
wx.ImageFromStream(imgdata, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_GIF)
panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
self.panel = panel
But this does not work. The converter says that the data is not valid
GIF. When I print the content of imgstring after the database select
statement, it contains something like this:
array('c', 'GIF89aL\x01=\x01\x85\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\ xff
\x00\xff\xff\xff[...]\x00\x00;')
When I try to print imgstring[1], the result is "I". So I don't quite
get what this print result is about and why my input should not be
valid. The data in the database is correct, I can restore the image
with tools like the MySQL Query Browser.
Thanks in advance,

That means that imgstring is not a string, it's an array of characters.
Observe:
>>import array a = array.array('c', 'Blahblahblah') print a
array('c', 'Blahblahblah')
>>str(a)
"array('c', 'Blahblahblah')"
>>a.tostring()
'Blahblahblah'
Calling write() with an object that's not a string will implicitly call
str() on that object and write the result of that call to the file. Try
imgdata.write(imgstring.tostring()) to extract the string data from the
array.
Hope this helps,

Hi all,
AFAIK it is possible for columns to be very large, up to about 2 GB. Are
there any hints or experiences about storing binary data (jpg-images,

Of course it's in many cases a good approach to store those files simply
in the file system but there's always a risk...

I cannot read a binary file into a mysql database. Everything I tried did not succeed.
What I tried (found from various google lookups...) is this:
