Hi Alex, list, sorry for the delay.
I think you're on 9.0, aren't you? We're still on 8.1 - but the following should be equivalent to your env: - connected to mysql shell (and the right database), execute the following: "desc CMS_InfoObjects5;" (if on 8.1 replace table name by CMS_InfoObjects4) - description of the table is shown, including the used data types - "Properties" is of type "mediumblob" (at least in 8.1) All types named "<whatever>blob" are considered to contain binary files Hope this helps, Marcel On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 6:28 PM, Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > hi, I logged into the boxi database via mysql using > mysql > --socket=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CommonReporting/bobje/mysql/mysql.sock -u > bobje > > a lot of it looks like binary data though, for example, using select > Properties from CMS_InfoObjects5 limit 1; to get the first row of data > produces something like > \0\0\0 46K- @\n.X > > is that data supposed to be readable? > > tx > > > > --To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the > body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected] > > --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
