Hello!

I'm a beginner of the wonderful world of MySQL :-)


I'm planning to deploy MySQL for a project of my company but I've some
concern about real size limit of BLOBs.

situation: MySQL 3.23.33 on FreeBSD 4.2-stable, clients are near always
Win machines with MyODBC and proprietary software.


I read on Paul DuBois' excellent book that longblob are 2^32-1 wide,
but actually the communication _protocol_ between clients and server
limits to 24Mb the dimension of a single record.

It is still true ? or, maybe, have been "fixed" ?

What workarounds could I use ?

My database will be very few accessed (about 20 persons max.), I've no
need of speed but often I should archive data of more than 24Mb.

Besides bypassing this problem (not using MySQL to save such BLOBs)
there are other solutions ?


Thanks a lot!!
