Can select ... into outfile not save it into a file, but save it in blob instead

Question

I want to do a select * from x into outfile 'c:/test.csv'.
But instead of saving into an outfile test.csv I want to save it into a blob field.

I'm starting the query from a client on Windows.
The MySQL server is on a server on Windows or Linux (can be both).
But I want to have the file client-side, not somewhere on the server.

BTW
The client software in written in Delphi 2007 and uses ZEOS to connect to the MySQL database on a remote server.

How do I get the outfile client side, instead of server side?

Answer 1

OK In case people want to know I made a workaround to the the TMS DBAdvGrid to export the CSV file.

I added a new property to TAdvStringGrid

public {properties}
property HideCSVHeader: boolean read FHideCSVHeader write FHideCSVHeader;

and changed the following code:

procedure TAdvStringGrid.OutputToCSV(FileName:String;appendmode: Boolean; 
  Unicode: boolean);
....
//changed this code further down the procedure:
//for z := SaveStartRow to SaveEndRow do 
//Into:

MyStartRow:= SaveStartRow;
if HideCSVHeader then Inc(MyStartRow);
for z := MyStartRow to SaveEndRow do   

Then when I call

procedure TForm1.BtnExportClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  Filename: string;
  succes: Boolean;
begin
  succes:= True;
  if ExportSaveDialog.Execute then begin
    Filename:= ExportSaveDialog.FileName;
    try
      DBGridExportExact.Delimiter:= ';';
      DBGridExportExact.AlwaysQuotes:= True;
      DBGridExportExact.QuoteEmptyCells:= True;
      DBGridExportExact.SaveHiddenCells:= True;
      DBGridExportExact.HideCSVHeader:= True;
      DBGridExportExact.SaveToCSV(bestandsnaam);
    except
      succes:= False;
    end;
    if not(succes) then StatusLabel.Caption:= 'Error bla bla';
  end;
end;
