Hi,
In this change: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/tbl_pro...
rabus treats all BLOBs as binary.
According to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/BLOB.html
we don't know if a BLOB has binary contents (even if the B stands for Binary). Lots of users put text only in their blobs, and IMO there is nothing wrong with this in MySQL. Do we really want to force users on this?
Maybe we discussed this earlier, somebody please refresh my memory.
Marc
