What level of control do you have on the remote end that is collecting/dumping the data? Can you specify the command/arguments on how to dump? Is it possible to turn on binary logging and manually ship the logs rather than shipping the dump, effectively manually doing replication? I agree with

Hi Larry, I'm trying to figure out what your wanting to do with the data once its in mysql? At first it seemed you didn't want to put it in as a lob because you might want to query on the data in different ways (kind of an assumption on my part, but a common reason to do this). Then, you
