I was about to ask the same question as Bryan. However, I would have to
upgrade to use that function call.
How stable is the newest version of MySQL?
Is there an alternative method to get binary data into a table? Other than
LOAD INFILE?
Thanks,
Jose

Hello Bryan,
In the newest version of MySQL (3.23) you can use function
load_file(filename). Please see manual for more information.
