Just a quick question..
Out of two options mentioned below, how to store to varbinary column in MySQL?
public_key = '67498930589635764678356756719'
or
public_key = 67498930589635764678356756719
Will the second method work? I am into an emergency moment working on a production server and didn't want to experiment on it.
Thank you for any help.
Printable data can be inserted using quotes. Non-printable data can be inserted using hexadecimal values. I.e.:
INSERT INTO Table(VarBinaryColumn) VALUES('Printable data') -- Will be stored as binary representation using the charset of the operating system
INSERT INTO Table(VarBinaryColumn) VALUES(0x12345) -- Non-printable binary data
