MySQL - Display BLOB and INSERT INTO BLOB

Inserting into a BLOB is just as easy as inserting into any field.

Here is the example query that we can use to change a "field" to "Insert Value":

UPDATE table SET field = 's:12:"Insert Value"' WHERE id = 'uniqueid';

Here is how we can display info from BLOB into text.

SELECT CONVERT(table.blobfield, CHAR(32767)) AS blob_value FROM table;

Other CONVERT types available:
BINARY[(N)]
CHAR[(N)]
DATE
DATETIME
DECIMAL[(M[,D])]
SIGNED [INTEGER]
TIME
UNSIGNED [INTEGER]
