phpMyAdmin - Show BLOB fields as text?

Question

I was wondering why in phpMyAdmin I see something like this:

**Edit    Inline Edit     Copy   Delete [BLOB - 7B] [BLOB - 32B]    [BLOB - 13B]    [BLOB - 16B]         


        

Answer 1

phpMyAdmin has an "+option" link on top of each result set. Click it, and you will see the option to display blob contents.

I should add: some phpMyAdmin versions have a bug where the "+option" link does not show up on the first load of the results, you need to click [ Refresh ] to make it appear.
