Question

but when i dumping blob records using sqlYog am getting unvaluable data.

How can i backup BLOB type fields?

Note:

BLOB field has image.

Answer 1

当您打算将参数--hex-blob导入到其他数据库（如sqlite）时，该参数很有用。

Answer 2

The official mysqldump utility can dump BLOBs fields without any problem, use -q or --opt when you run the backup.

So for example to backup images_table that contains image in BLOB format :

mysqldump --opt -u user -ppass dbname images_table > images.sql
