Newbies MrCoffee Posted November 4, 2009 Newbies Share Posted November 4, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey79 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTominator Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
