Well, if you're pulling BLOB directly, say, using something like HTTP
(ala PrimeBase Blob Streaming engine), you need to tell the browser
how to handle it, which means you would need the MIME type defined,
no? I've no idea if that's what came out of the huge how to handle
BLOBs thread but thought I'd throw that out there.

Hi Brian,
I'd vote no. If you want it, it's easy to just keep another column
with it. The only reason to keep this extra metadata for a column
would be if drizzle wanted to process it in some way (and that seems
like a bad idea, let the application handle it).
Do you have a particular use case of why this would be required
(as opposed to just another column)?

Hi!
What do people think about declaring a mime/type for blobs? What
about
storing a mime/type with each insert of blob?
We talk about collations (and character sets) for text types. What
about
blobs?
How about constraints? (and the cost of adding them)
Cheers,
-Brian
