Hi guys,

I have pdf documents that I want to store in MYSQL DB. I am not sure if MYSQL supports this and what data type I will be using for pfd files.

Can anyone help

Motho

I'm not whether u can store the pdf files (or any other files), but its not a good idea (even in SQL and Oracle). Usually they just store a path of a file in database and locate that file based on the info in the database when ever needed.

If you want to store binary data you should probably use the BLOB data type. The manual is your friend, and will gladly tell you all about BLOBs.

Thanks guys. I think I will just referrence the file.
