Hi, I think that I have seen many times the advice not to store the images in MySQL, but to store them on the hard disk while putting the path to them in the database. They could be accessed much faster this way.

So, the conclusion is that until MySQL version 5.0.3 the empty spaces are remove if i wish to store the binary data in a table. Is not any other solutions?Because for the moment i convert the binary data into ASCII(printing ASCII) string,i add slashes after each converted character and after all this i store in the BLOB field on the table.And i wish to avoid this procedure...wasting a lot of time.
