Question

Workbench 6.0.2.

I have inserted the image using the following query:

create table images (ID int,Image BLOB);  
insert into images values (1,load_file('C:\Users\PEL_AY\Desktop\1.jpg') );

But the problem is how to view the image stored image database using load_file

Do I need a front-end to view the image?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can embed image data just like any data in a MySQL table. For binary data you usually would use a BLOB column data type. MySQL Workbench has a built-in editor for binary data, which you can open via the result grid context menu:

This editor allows to view text, hex binary values and images (limited to those formats the platform can show, e.g. on Windows bmp, gif, png, jpg and a few more).
