I am new to mysql and I was wondering if someone could point me in the
right direction on how to store .tar and .tar.gz (bzip2) files inside a
mysql database. I have googled to try and find some help there but most
I believe the data type you are looking for is blob. However, you would
be better off using your row to point to a file located on the hard
drive instead of actually in the database. I can't recall the technical
details but, your performance will be much better that way.
