Hello,
I would like to make my backups of MySQL using mysqldump.
My question is: what happens if I have blob fields?
does mysqldump can dump the data on those fields correctly
in a plain text sql script file? I ask this because
I have blob fields containing images and other binary
information (not plain text).

Thanks a lot in advance.
Roland

Yes they are dumped correctly with all special characters qouted etc.

as per a google search which found this:

I especially like "mysqldump is THE backup software supplied with mysql and if it couldn't handle to take backup of some of the column types then it would be very useless."
