Odi's astoundingly incomplete notes
New entries | CodeBacula WTF
From the MySQL schema of Bacula:
--
-- Note, we use BLOB rather than TEXT because in MySQL,
-- BLOBs are identical to TEXT except that BLOB is case
-- sensitive in sorts, which is what we want, and TEXT
-- is case insensitive.
--
I think, someone didn't understand the difference between text and binary here. Fact is, that you can't see or edit BLOBs in PhpMySQL. WTF!
Apart from that Bacula is a great backup software.
