Hi all, I could not insert BLOB data types in a table. I want that the INSERT statement should insert a picture in a field of a table. Like, INSERT INTO testtable (id, picture) values (1,picref) Here I want to know what should be the picref???? I know picref is a variable in a programming language but I don know how to represent a picture (say test.jpg) to the variable picref?? Please suggest me in PERL and Java because I am connecting the Mysql database using PERL DBI and JDBC driver. Thank you in advance.
