So, the conclusion is that until MySQL version 5.0.3 the empty spaces = are remove if i wish to store the binary data in a table. Is not any other solutions?Because for the moment i convert the binary = data into ASCII(printing ASCII) string,i add slashes after each = converted character and after all this i store in the BLOB field on the = table.And i wish to avoid this procedure...wasting a lot of time.
