Hey Gerwin, MySQL doesn't treat the BLOB or TEXT types specially, the is no file-like abstraction like in some other databases. The only way for SOCI to support a consistent API would be to add a layer of emulation, which could be very inefficient. That's why it's not supported. When using MySQL, the best way is to just insert and select BLOB and TEXT fields like any other fields.
