This is how we did it with PHP Remove the mysql packet size limitation. By default, mysql only accepts packets that are smaller than 1 MB. You have to restart your database with some parameters, which will remove the limitations.
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld -O key_buffer=16M -O table_cache=128 -O sort_buffer=4M -O record_buffer=1M -O max_allowed_packet=24M If you are using Unix, check out your init-tree and change the corresponding startup file.

Ant -----Original Message----- From: Dang Nguyen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 March 2002 09:05 To: Mysql List (E-mail) Subject: storing files in mySQL Hi everyone, I'd like to know how to load files, such as MS-Word documents or PDF documents, in a mySQL database. I've setup a blob type in a table, but where do I go from there? The purpose of this is to store files uploaded from a web page and processed with Java servlets. Then, the files should be retrievable (displayed or downloaded) back to a client browser. My environment: Apache Web server 1.3.x on Solaris 2.8 with Java servlets environment. Thanks for any help, Dang Nguyen --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
