As far as I know, yes. Use a BLOB datatype which is a BINARY format. There
are caveats to entering data into a BLOB field. You must escape special
characters of which they are defined in the manual somewhere.

Subject: Accessing image files.
Support,
I am investigating whether MySql will support image, sound, or encrypted
files in a database field. An example is as follows:
field1: namefirst
field2: namelast
field3: nickname
field4: age
field5: addresshome
field6:addresscity
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
field15: imagejpeg
field16: soundbite
field17: securebar
I would like to build the database with the files in the table, or maybe
I will need to point to a subtable or relational field or another table.
Please provide some assistance in determining the best uses for your
product.
