MYSQL: Base 64 Function call Reference

Posted by Jay     20 October, 2009    2,370 views   

I tried to use base64 function in mysql, but could find only a freeware/open source procedure to use it. Herewith I share the content and download-able file for you! Give the credit to the original Author. If you need ‘What is base64?”, here is the Wikipedia Reference:

The term Base64 refers to a specific MIME content transfer encoding. It is also used as a generic term for any similar encoding scheme that encodes binary data by treating it numerically and translating it into a base 64 representation. The particular choice of base is due to the history of character set encoding: one can choose a set of 64 characters that is both part of the subset common to most encodings, and also printable.
