I have a tinyblob column that I want to insert binary data into it( a guid)

I create a MySqlCommand using parameter is follow

INSERT INTO MY_TABLE (IDCol) Values (CAST(0xCE2A0AA8D33211D79C4800A0CC40804D AS BINARY))

but when I look in the table, the data is just insert as text

0xCE2A0AA8D33211D79C4800A0CC40804D

Anyone know how to make it insert as binary?

Thanks.

look like the driver put single quote around my value
because the parameter type is default to varchar.

'0xCE2A0AA8D33211D79C4800A0CC40804D'

Is there a way to tell it to not put single quote around the value?

thanks.

You have to use parameters.

Code: Select all

MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("insert into my_table(f_tinyblob) values (:blob)", connection);

byte [] data;
...
command.Parameters.Add("blob", data);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
