I am trying to store very small gzipped files in my mysql database. The  
storage works great, but when I retreive the data some  
fields are interpolated.

Examples:  
\010 becomes \007  
\012 becomes \032

There may be others, but those are what I have noticed thus far. I am  
using the Mysql.quote method to store my data. I am runnng:  
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i486-linux]  
mysql 5.0.20-1  
mysql-ruby 2.7

Thanks,

Zach

This does not appear to be a bug in mysql-ruby… appears to be some of  
my code…

Are you on windows? If so, are you using the “b” (binary) flag when  
you open your files?
