Try sql_blob. If it works, we just need a couple of alias typedefs in lib/ sql_types.h, sql_binary and sql_varbinary, which I can add to the next version of MySQL++. Meanwhile, you can patch your copy of MySQL++ to include them. If sql_blob doesn't work, try to find out why it fails, so we can fix it. It might not handle the zero-padding for short binaries, for instance.
