Ok. I want the covers in the db.

How does one actually go about inserting and retrieving binary data from
a database?

Does one just do a:

{
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare('insert into covers (isbn,small) values (?,?)');
  $sth->execute($isbn, $imagedata);
}

Because that's not working for me.


[and I've updated the tarball:
