Hello,
I am doing packet capturing and I want to store the packet headers and
payload in a MySQL database. I have decided the datatypes for all the fields
except for the packet payload. I want to know if I can store the payload
particulars in a file and then point that file to the table
Not sure what you are asking. MySQL can store actual files in a blob
field, but it sounds like you only want to store a reference to a file.
The only way to store a reference to a file is to store it's path name.
If you want to store the file on a different machine, you would need to
store
