title: Updating BLOB from MySQL Workbench
body: <p>I have a problem with one SQL statement. I am trying to update something in a table which is a Blob field with a pdf. And it's not working.</p>
  
  <pre><code>UPDATE employees 
  SET resume = LOAD_FILE('C:\Users\gaby\Desktop\sample_resume.pdf') 
  WHERE id = 1;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I use the above command the result is null. If I use the below command the result is not null, there is a pdf but it is empty.</p>
  
  <pre><code>UPDATE employees 
  SET resume = 'C:\Users\gaby\Desktop\sample_resume.pdf'
  WHERE id = 1;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can do this update using JDBC, it works perfect. But I want to do it from workbench too.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
