Hi There!
I am using mysql 3.23.41, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386). My problem is this. In java, I am trying to extract a blob field from a mysql table - I am using Byte[] somebytes = RS.getBytes("FPPICTURE"); String somestring = new String(somebytes); This gives me a string of the blob data. I then need to create a new SQL insert statement that will insert the blob data stored within "somestring" into a table.. String sqlCommand = "INSERT INTO SOMETABLE (FPPICTURE) VALUES ('"+somestring+"');"; However, when I attempt to execute the above query, I have a problem because the contents of "somestring" contains some characters that are illegal within a SQL statement such as a ' . I have used PHPMyAdmin, and exported a table which has blob fields within it. The result is a SQL string with the contents of the blob field being escaped within the SQL query. My question is, how can I get a blob field from a mysql table that had already escaped any illegal charachters, or how can I encode the blob field myself so that the mysql statement I create is valid ???
