So, if ASCII and Binary are both codesets... which does SQL use to

its data?
ASCII is a codeset, utf* is a codeset.... binary is a, um... , binary
data.
varchar, etc => ASCII/utf*/whatever => stored as text
int, etc => integer => stored as integer or long or whatever
BLOB => Binary Large OBject => stored as binary data
While you're right that it's better performance and maintenance wise
to use the filesystem to store binary objects, especially very large
ones, it's not necessarily 'wrong' to use MySQL.
