# Method Mysql.mysql()->binary_data()

Method binary_data

  `int binary_data()`

Description

  Inform if this version of Mysql.mysql supports binary data

  This function returns non-zero if binary data can be reliably stored and retreived with this version of the mysql-module.

  Usually, there is no problem storing binary data in mysql-tables, but data containing `'\0'` (NUL) couldn't be fetched with old versions (prior to 3.20.5) of the mysql-library.
