my phpMyAdmin data is hashed or hexed? I have a mySQL db setup in MAMP in which I connected mySQL Workbench to administer the design of the database.

When I inserted some data today from within myPhpAdmin (localhost:8888), I noticed the data was being displayed with hashed or hex values.

Here is a screen of the table view which you can see the odd display and text format offering a link to download (never seen this).



If I edit a record, the data is properly displayed.



But if I export the data, the values look to be hexadecimal.



Is my install hosed? Or did mySQL Workbench do something?
Thanks for any answers here.
