Hi,
I'd like to read the contents of a file into memory. The problem is that
this file is binary. I then want to store the whole thing in memory to a
database as a blob.
I have no problem reading from a file: I did this:
import os
f = open('/bin/ls' , 'r+b')
data = f.read()
f.close()
How do I place that in a blob? If I concatenate this to a sql string, how
will the database sql parser know where my data string ends, knowing that my
data string could contain lots of ' and " and other little things in it. ???
storeString = "insert into mytable (filedata) values ( %s ) " % data
Does that look right? I don't think it would execute correctly.
Thanks
David Stockwell
