Re: non-text data
All right, so how would one set up a select where rows 1 and 2 are text and row 3 is a blob and for argument sake assume jpg for the moment. You want to select a row based on the content (image) of the jpg? Not possible unless you pass the whole blob into mysql so it can retrieve the record which would be extremely slow and extremely expensive in terms of cpu / memory. As you probably saw in the cross-post to the php-general list, you're much better off just storing the filename in the database and storing the image itself on the filesystem. Then you can easily search for images with filename 'logo.jpg'. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
