I am now having a database storing images of chinese characters for research purpose. I wrote a program to store and retrieve them. My images are of type ppm. This is how I designed my table:
mysql> describe poor; +--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | cc | char(2) binary | | | | | | width | int(1) | YES | | NULL | | | height | int(1) | YES | | NULL | | | data | blob | YES | | NULL | | +--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ Just have to be really careful in storing binary data. Hope this help.
