Hi,

I am storing fairly large hunks of data into a MyISAM table
and am wondering what the best way of retrieving that data
would be.  I have a longblob column which is used to store
data but when that data is returned, I'd rather it wasn't
allocated a buffer in memory.

Provided the connection to MySQL is local, is the client
API able to return a readonly mmaped area into the myisam
data file which corresponds to the blob column or is the
data storage not done linearly.

If this cannot be done, I'd appreciate any pointers people
can offer regarding the retrieval of large columns.

Cheers,
Shane
