title: url safe base64 in MySQL
body: <p>Is MySQL's TO_BASE64 URL safe? Using java, I can write the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
  
  public class Main {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          String text = "SomeText";
          byte[] input = text.getBytes();
          // url safe base64
          // How do I do this in MySQL?
          // I tried mysql&gt; SELECT TO_BASE64('SomeText'); but it does not seem to return url safe output
          Base64 base64 = new Base64(-1, null, true);
          input = base64.encode(input);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
