Hi All! I am a newbie at mySQL. I need to implement a database which has the capability to store some *.dat files. hence i have already implemented a table using:
create table table_name (field_name1 int unsigned auto_increment primary key not null, data_file longblob not null); I then tried to input file into the data_file field using the load_file function using: insert into table_name(field_name1,data_file) values (1,'/absolute/path/file_name.jpg')); but it kept giving me an error that data_file does not allow NULL values. Hence, after some trouble shooting, I figured out that the load_file function was returning a NULL. I have checked out the parameter 'max_allowed_packet' and other messages but to no avail. Any suggestion?!
