Depending on size of data there are a few different methods... Just like what most people do.. use plain insert statements with the data properly escaped and shouldn't have any problem going in.
Pulling data out is pretty quick .. I can stream binary data out of my mysql storage servers via our ftp gateway at speeds about 40MB/sec (~ 4000k/sec) which is pretty quick for the crappy development server I've got.. You mention streaming in.. I've got a ftpgateway to mysql storage that I use.. it's written in java.. but you could also implement one in C++ On Tue, 27 May 2003, Adam Clauss wrote: > Copied from my original message: > I am writing a database that will contain a blob field for some binary data. > My question is, what is the most efficient way to load this binary data in? > I could turn it into a string and pass it into an INSERT/UPDATE statement, > but I am afraid that problems will arise when it is converted into a string > (with newlines, nulls, etc).
