hello all, I am trying a very complex kind of a task in a project. I have a knowledge management system where I need to store a lot of objects (pickled). I have to store mostly lists and dictionaries into a rdbms. mostly I will be using mysql. I want to know if there is any module that can help me store a pickled object inside a blob field instead of a file. I know that pickle.dump() can store an object into a file but I can't find a way to transfer pickled objects into a database. I so far tried to read a dumpped file for pickled object and directly right the contents of the file to the blob field in my database. but that does not seam to give the right result. I first dump the object into the file through pickle.dump and then open the file in read mode. then I read the contents of the file and then store what ever comes out into the blob field. I know this is not right and there should be ways of storing a pickled object other than file. Please guide me on this issue. regards.
