I am writing a java app that saves binary data into a mysql BLOB column. I am having trouble escaping the ascii(0) character. Since Java is unicode, how do you represent the ASCII 0 character? Any help is much appreciated. And sorry, but java sucks. I could do all the escaping in Perl in 1 line of code. Christopher Lambrou, CGL Computer Services, Inc.
