Hi,

I would like to know if there is some workaround to use group_concat on 
binary columns.

For performance consideration, I need to query two tables and accomplish 
data retrieval in a single SELECT. There is this BLOB column, originally 
designed as BLOB rather than text so that the storage is efficient. So can I 
use group_concat to join binary columns? I don't know if the implementation 
actually treats the output column as a string, or it will determine the 
actual length, in which case, it might be possible.

What choices do I have? Is it a good idea to add another column that 
contains the encoded text representation of the BLOB?

Thanks in advance,
He Shiming
