Correction:
MYSQL uses "BIGINT" (or another type with "INT" in its name) where Oracle uses
NUMBER.

The rest of what I said still stands (I think).
YMMV
The information contained in this electronic mail
If you encode your binary data as pure ascii, in and out, any database will do
just fine.
Encodings to consider are mime-64 (https://metacpan.org/pod/MIME::Base64) and
q-encoding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable ) - both are
lossless and can store any binary data. Hexadecimal

Hi! I do not know if it helps you, but processing binary data with MySQL
or MariaDB server and Perl's DBI can be tricky due to limitation of
MySQL protocol. Some details I wrote to the DBD::MariaDB documentation:
