I am inserting binary data into a BLOB column. I attempted to "translate"
the necessary escaped characters, 0, ', ", \ using PERL -- and all
worked fine except in a single .gif file wherein what appeared as "?" in my
vi editor in the original .gif was somehow translated into "NULL" when
inserted into the BLOB column in the mysql database. Does anyone know what
that would be? Are there special issues with "?" that need to be addressed?
Thank you so very much for any assistance you may have to offer.
