Has anybody used BLOBs in a CDBI application?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/07/05]

I have an application which really needs to store a fair-sized (several 
K) chunk of data as one of the
 fields in the database. (Underlying database is MySQL).

Since the data is too large to use a varchar (which I'd normaly use), 
I'll probably have to use a TEXT field (or a BLOB, depends on stuff I 
don't yet know at this moment).

I seem to recall that getting more than a certain size of data out of a 
blob required calling some special stuff in DBD. Does anybody know if 
Class-DBI handles those transparently? If not, has anybody used CDBI 
with BLOBs before? Any hints, instructions, gotchas?
