Pentaho BI Server - mysql type blob appears as a set of numbers


I'm running Pentaho BI Server and added a mysql data source. I've managed to get a few reports working with simple tables but I'm having a problem with columns with data type - blob.

When a column of a "blob" data type is used in the report it just shows up as number and not text.

Any ideas?


Solution

  • So I guess that the simple answer to all this in my cause was to change the "blob" datatype to "text". Since I was not using the "blob" to store any binary.
