Hi,
I remembered something when playing wiht BLOB. It looks that the select statement does not work well with BLOB. It always add or modify the BLOB a little bit. Later I found out that the client programming interfaces, perl,C++ etc tend to do well on BLOB and files.

Use DUMPFILE instead of OUTFILE. See:

Hi,

I'm trying to use MySQL Blob columns to store files (docs,gifs,pdf.....) but I'm getting corrupted files from the DB.

the applications runs php, loading file content with addslashes but in order to spot the error i've tried it with mysql only like this:
column file is a MEDIUMBLOB
INSERT INTO XXXXXX SET file=LOAD_FILE("/tmp/teste.pdf");
and them
SELECT file INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/teste_frommysql.pdf" FROM XXXXXX WHERE id=12;

and teste_frommysql.pdf cant be loaded
ls -l shoes that the sizes are different:
270713 Aug 2 11:28 /tmp/teste.pdf (ORIGINAL)
277405 Aug 10 17:21 /tmp/teste_frommysql.pdf

I've made a test with a text file and noticed that the file from MySQL has a added LineBreak at the end.Is thta the problem? how can I fix this?

This is my config:
Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

mysql-4.1.11-2

cat /etc/my.cnf
