Hi there, I've been trying to insert (and retrieve) a xml file into a
postgres DB into a BLOB field, using some nice examples downloaded from the
net, but they don't seem to work. Is there a "standard" way to do this?

I read about a bytea data type and run some examples, but never understood
how this data type works. When I retrieve the data, all I could see was a
number. What should I do with this number? How can I use it to see the xml
file content.?

Thank you in advance.

Why do you need to store the files in a database? Can't you just keep the=
m on
the hard disk and query them with DOM?

I'm with Yves -- just store the xml files on the local disk and then record
their *location* in the DB if you need to reference them.

if you really want to store the xml in the db, why not just use a 'text'
data type?

Attachments never come through to the php mailing list(s). If anyone
asks for an attachment, place it somewhere on a website and provide a link.

<guess>

Postgres provides searching of xml documents using xpath and other such
functions:

Hi

> Could any 1 please help on how to insert using phpMyAdmin??

I haven't used phpMyAdmin in years, but here's how I'd do it in SQL with
my favourite tool (SQLyog)

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\file_name.txt'
INTO TABLE tbl_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(col_name1, col_name2, col_name3);

Some things to note.
1) the LOCAL keyword is for a file on YOUR computer. Remove it if the
file is located on the server. Many shared hosting packages do not
allow you to use LOCAL.

2) IGNORE 1 LINES assumes your file has column names or similar in the
first line, and ignores them. Remove if the file does not have any, or
increase the number if more than one non-data line at the start.

3) The two TERMINATED clauses define the line as being newline
terminated and fields separated by tabs. Change these accordingly. You
may need to add an extra backslash to escape the backslash for
phpMyAdmin, I do not remember how that works with phpMyAdmin.
