Method Mysql.mysql()->binary_data()

Method binary_data

int binary_data()

Description

Inform if this version of Mysql.mysql supports binary data

This function returns non-zero if binary data can be reliably stored and retreived with this version of the mysql-module.

Usually, there is no problem storing binary data in mysql-tables, but data containing '\0' (NUL) couldn't be fetched with old versions (prior to 3.20.5) of the mysql-library.
