Binary Data in MySQL *

Question

How do I store binary data in MySQL?

Answer

The answer by phpguy is correct but I think there is a lot of confusing additional detail there. The basic answer is in a BLOB column. BLOB is short for Binary Large Object and that column type is specifically for handling binary data.

See the relevant manual page.
