[libreoffice-users] save binary files in MySQL DB via libreoffice base

Hi all,
I would like to do a very simple thing with Base, but I can't seem to 
find out how.

Here is what I would like to do:

  - I would like to save some arbitrary binary files in a MySQL 
database, using Libreoffice Base

So using Base (3.4.4) I created a small test database, with a BLOB 
column and created a form to populate this column.  So far all good.

But it seems that the form creation wizard assigns an image file input 
control to the blob type, which only allows me to select files of image 
type (extension).
So I tried changing it to a simple file selector control, but I can't 
seem to be able to attach that control to a column in my database (i.e., 
there is no 'data' tab on the control properties).

So now I'm stuck... :-(

Anyone had a similar issue before and might point me in the right direction?

Any info about this would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
  Andre
