SHORT SYNOPSIS: The statement INSERT INTO table (blob_column) VALUES (load_file('/home/somebody/image.jpg'));
Produces no error; but fails to load the image file. SOLUTION: The image file (or other binary file, I assume) MUST reside in / or /tmp, ie /image.jpg or /tmp/image.jpg. (At least in MySQL 3.23.36) I *hope* this is a bug! - fleet - -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
