This is more of a Java issue than MySQL. Here is how I
woudl approach it: store the serialized object in a file
with a unique name, and store the name of the file in
the database. Storing the object could be done with some
tricks in a blob, but storing it in a file is not only
easier, but will probably also improve performance.
