How can I directly view blobs in MySQL Workbench -


i'm using mysql workbench ce 5.2.30 ce / rev 6790 . when execute following statement:

select old_password("test") 

i nice blob icon, need left-click select cell, right-click , choose "open value in viewer" , select "text" tab.

using same phpmyadmin, directly value of old_password call. it's example, there way directly see such results in output?

in short:

  1. go edit > preferences
  2. choose sql editor
  3. under sql execution, check treat binary/varbinary nonbinary character string
  4. restart mysql workbench (you not prompted or informed of requirement).

with setting able concatenate fields without getting blobs.

i think applies versions 5.2.22 , later , result of this mysql bug.

disclaimer: don't know downside of setting - maybe when selecting binary/varbinary values see plain text may misleading and/or maybe hinder performance if large enough?
