MySQL longblob

[MrCoffee]

Hi, i am using a MySQL server, I am connected and everything works fine. I was told to created a longblob field in MySQL to store pictures. I can't see the field in Filemaker field table even if y click the sync button.

Anybody have a idea how to use a Filemaker container in MySQL

ODBC won't work with blobs.

On thought I've had on this is to store images "as text" in MySQL, then read them through a calculation field who's output is a container.

If you were to store the image data as base64 encoded text, you could display it directly in FileMaker using a Web Viewer with a "data" url.
