How to read a binary file into a mysql table

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hans_M=FCller?=]

Good morning folks,

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:

con = MySQLdb.connect(to server)
cur = con.cursor()

cur.execute("insert into data values('file1', %s)", (open("test.jpg", "rb").read(), ))

also this doesn't work:

execute("insert into data values('file1', %s), (MySQLdb.escape_string(open("test.jpg", "rb").read()), ))

I always get this:

Warning: Data truncated for column 'file' at row 1

The blob data is actually chopped.

The Table has two columns, char(100), blob

Has someone a working idea how to get binary file into a blob using MySQLdb and python ?!

System is SuSE 10.0 Linux with python 2.5.1, current MySQLdb version, MySQL is: 5.0.26

Thanks a lot!

Greetings

Hans

Try wrapping the file contents with a Binary object (untested):

data = MySQLdb.Binary(open("test.jpg","rb").read())
cur.execute("insert into data values('file1', %s)", (data,))

I was suprised at what I could stick into a MySQL database. Also, you
might wanna compress the binary for database performance.

Hello,

thanks a lot for the Binary(). This does the trick, now I can import all my binary data.
But now I found the next problem:
The Blob is now limited to 65535 Bytes. I love all these stone age (16bit) limits on my 64bit machines...
All bigger files a truncated.

Has someone an idea how to solve this ?

Sorry, I found the mistake:

There is more than one blob type, blob as a default stores only 64k of data.
LONGBLOB has a 4G limit which is Ok for my purposes.

Happy Christmas to all,

Hans
