Unless I'm misusing it, I believe the shell readfile() function reads a file
as text, not binary. I haven't checked writefile() for the same problem on
writing.
This is how I use it, is this not correct?
create table t1(a blob);
insert into t1 values(readfile('binfile'));
select * from t1;
I always see text and I expect to see one of the following cases:
1. a hex sequence regardless of file type
2. text (if the file was text), or a hex sequence if it was binary.
Instead, I see text when dealing with text files, and truncated text (up to
the first zero) when dealing with binary.
Am I misusing it?
