Re: storing files in database
Blob field may do the trick but wouldn't it easier to store it on the drive? - Original Message - From: "I.SivaramaKrishnan" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 17:05 Subject: storing files in database Hi all, Basically I have a requirement where I have to store xml files in the database. The table that I visualised for the purpose will contain two columns, one being the key (varchar) and the other for the xml file. What data type should I use for the second column. Are there any inherent problems with the above mentioned design like size of the file, or any other limitations that I don't foresee. Please let me know your thoughts. Awaiting your reply.

I always use a MEDIUMTEXT type for this, see: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Column_types.html . Although the column allows you to store 16 MB of data, it maybe that you need to start mysqld with a larger max packet size, as the default is 1 MB, which may not be enough. Further, I store the values base64 encoded in the column, so that I don't need to take care of special characters like ', " or \0. This will also increase the datasize by about 33%. - 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?
