Subject: Storing 8 bit data in a text field - possible?

Hi all,

Is it possible to store 8 bit (binary) data inside a text field inside
the database?

If so, how? What characters would I need to escape, and how would I
escape them?

Regards,
Graham

Mime-Version: 1.0

Hi List people:

I have searched the Hughes site and mirrors and have only found the msql
1.16 version of the Win32 port.  I know that there are some individuals who
are working at a msql2 port to WinNT.  Does anyone have the URLS?

under WIN32.

 Maybe simply find somewhere UUencode/uudecode source files and use them ???

I'm new to w3-msql and try to use it on my Linux together with Apache.
(mSQL ver 2.0.3)
When I try to run http://myserver/cgi-bin/w3-msql/test.html the browser
brings up the Authentication-window to prompt me for
username and password. Why? I don't wont to use it. What's the minimum
configuration to get w3-msql to work? Is there some
settings in the Apache-configurationfiles missing?

Best regards,
Niclas

At 12:17 PM 11/13/97 -0500, Graham Leggett espoused the following wisdom:
()Is it possible to store 8 bit (binary) data inside a text field inside
()the database?
()
()If so, how? What characters would I need to escape, and how would I
()escape them?

If you are using Perl, I would guess you could use something like the PACK
command to make fixed length ASCII strings.  You might want to look into
that.  Programming Perl has a rather extensive section on using Pack, if my
memory serves me correctly.
