Mp3 file directly in a Database Without using BLOB I need to store Mp3 files in a Database.

Problem is that the files are going to be accesed with a smartphone. As the Smartphone is going to need to decode the  Blob it would be very slow.

I tried already to do this with a MariaDB but discovered that the data was stored as a Blob...

Im asking for a way to store the files in a Databank without changing the format.
If there is one Please enlighten me!
There is probably no way to have a binary piece of data (file) stored in a database (either relational or non-relational, NoSQL, that is) as "not blob" and without any need to decode it at the same time. 


If you don't want to decode it, store it as a BLOB.
If you don't want to store it as a BLOB, store it as a CLOB and then decode it.
If you want neither of the above, consider another means of storage
Accessing a database directly from "outer world" is generally a bad idea.
