The general algorithm is:
Open binary file
Check filesize (to make sure it will fit within the blob size constraint in
the column you created for it)
Slurp contents into variable ($blobfile if I were in PHP or Perl)
Insert data into database, inserting contents of the $blobfile into the
query.
Ie. INSERT INTO mytable (blobfield,recid) VALUES ('blobfield','$recid')
I don't know how you would do it from the command line the mysql client
though.
Maybe it would be "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE blobfile INTO TABLE mytable
(blobfield);"
That one is purely a guess though. The only times I have done it, have been
within a program or script, using the variable method.
