mysql blob只取一部分,MySQL Blob：如何仅获取存储数据的子集

I would like to use MYSQL as a storage system for a huge number of files.

I would like to read/write just a portion of the data stored in a column (data is stored as bytes) so I don't have to load the entire file into the application (because it can be > than a GB).

So, in brief, I would like to have random read/write access in a blob column without loading the entire data into memory.

Are there functions available to perform these operations? Thank you.

解决方案BLOB values are treated as binary strings (byte strings). They have no character set, and sorting and comparison are based on the numeric values of the bytes in column values.

So all the usual string functions work on blobs. In particular, you can use substring to grab just part of of a blob.

That said, storing a multi-gigabyte data file in a relational database as a BLOB isn't the best thing to do. You'd be better off storing the file's metadata in the database and leaving the file itself in the file system; file systems are pretty good at managing files, relational databases are good at handling structured data.
