Upload image directly through mySQL Command Line

Question

I have a certain table in mySQL which has a field called \"image\" with a datatype of \"BLOB\". I was wondering if it is possible to upload an image in that field directly f

Answer 1

Try using the LOAD_FILE() function.

UPDATE `certain_table`
SET image = LOAD_FILE('/full/path/to/new/image.jpg')
WHERE id = 1234;

See the manual for requirements about the path to the filename, privileges, etc.
