Hello, Just hooked up to this list as last resort.... Searched internet for some weeks now but still not found any sollution/example.
If you search about BLOB, you always get results of storing gifs, jpg's and so on. I have (RO)access to an database and some tables have fields with TINYBLOB types. They are not pictures or other binary kind of files stored in those fields. They are just numbers and words. If i do a select * from table i do only see some garbage as result. Also i tried the select substring(field,0,255) from table but no result at all. I use the mysql commands in a TCL environment (with an tcl mysql library). So you feel my question... How to read human readable values from those fields so i can process them furter with tcl ? Thank for any reply.
