We need to store binary data form time to time in mysql. To date I've just base64 encoded the data to avoid having it corrupt the console on SELECT *
Is there any way to have the mysql command line client automatically do this for me? Is there any work around? base64 is about 30% data bloat that I'd like to have to avoid.
