All, In order to save very large strings (fully-formatted HTML) in a mysql column, I have run it through java.util.zip's GZIP classes. The result of this process is a byte[] of variable length. I have as yet been unsuccessful at saving and retrieving this byte[]. (My column is currently a blob. I am converting each byte to a char and then adding the char to a string and inserting the string to the blob. I am in no way committed to the blob type, and would actually like to avoid the byte[] <-> string translation if possible.) At any rate, If anyone has any good strategies for storing a byte[] in a mysql column, please forward those ideas. Live happy, code clean, David T. MacKenzie eSpecto, Inc. o. (513) 352-0020 f.
