Blob accepts LongBlob without error

[Ryan @ Common Ground . To]

I have successfully inserted and retrieved binary image files within 
MySQL.  No big deal.

However, for quite some time I was perplexed because only about half my 
image was going through.

It seems that MySQL accepts insertion of a string into a BLOB field that 
is longer than the maximum length of the BLOB data-type and it will 
still accept it.

Perhaps MySQL should output an error or at least a warning to know the 
string is too long.

Thanks much,
