Inserting Binary data into MySQL (without PreparedStatement's)

Question

I'm trying to insert some Binary data into a MySQL database without using prepared statements. The reason for this is that I concatenate thousands of statements into a single insert an run that once. (Exactly how the MySQL dump & import works) I have tried the following statements, but the are all failing: INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,'g=���F|�}X���',2); INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,CAST( 'g=���F|�}X���' AS BINARY),2); INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,CONVERT( 'g=���F|�}X���', BINARY),2); INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,BINARY 'g=���F|�}X���',2) The error I get is: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'binary_data' at row 1 The code I use to execute the statement is simply: conn.createStatement().executeUpdate(sql); PreparedStatements work fine (but are too slow in this case) The actual String I in the database displays a little differet: g=÷óF|¸}X£ì[ Binary View: 67 3d 81 f7 19 f3 46 7c b8 7d 58 8c 10 a3 ec 5b Java Bytes: 103, 61, -127, -9, 2…

Accepted Answer

Found the solution .... Although not something I saw documented anywhere .....

You can insert Binary data directly by writing the bytes converted to HEX and preceeded by 0x

For example:

```
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,0x19c0300dc90e7cedf64703ed8ae8683b,2);
```
