[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk & MySQL Blobs

[Eric]

Hi Vinko,

MySQL blobs will store binary data, so you should be OK there.  I'd
focus on whether or not storing the data in a variable is a good idea.
Typically, with any programming language, it's good practice to
keep variable lengths short so you aren't passing the variable itself
between functions.  I can't say if that could cause performance issues
under higher load.

I'd love to hear how you make out, as well as anyone else's input.

- Eric
