Warren,
Thanks for your quick reply and help and pointers.
I think that realistically it will take me a while to understand it as it is only part
time (evenings after work) when I can actually do it. Initially, I will try and store
BLOBs rather than use pathnames and separate binaries so my original question remains.
How do you setup a command to store an external file in the database e.g. myfile.doc
or myfile.txt or mypic.jpg? And assuming this is straightforward, how do I then get
the contents out again? Can it all be done from within the mySQL client (LOAD FILE?)
or do I need an interface like Perl or PHP?
Regards
Mark
