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

Sometimes we try to upload file using loadfile but file is not loaded or file path in formatted text is stored in BLOB field. This is because of access issues. If you are facing such condition, instead of loading file from any location, try to load it from data path of mysql preferably like :

INSERT INTO `srms`.`images` (`ID`, `Image`) VALUES ('5', load_file('C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\Uploads\test.jpg'));
