VARBINARY and VARCHAR

[Frantisek Kaduch]

Hello,

I've a question regarding the VARBINARY field type. I'm using MySQL 5.0.27 and 
mysql++-2.1.1. 
Can I insert binary data, it means a string of unsigned chars, with values in 
the range 0 - 255 in the VARCHAR field ? I tried first to define the field as 
VARBINARY, but could  not find a corresponding mysql++type in the 
sql_types.h, something like "sql_varbinary", there's only sql_varchar 
available.
The data to insert I acquire from the stream of digital TV and they form an SI 
table binary descriptor.

thanks
