Retrieving an image from MySQL with Libreoffice Base

[Cecil Carpenter]

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 x64, MySQL Server 5.5, and Libreoffice 4.2.8.2. My latest project required me to add image support to one of my tables. I used MySQL Workbench 6.0 to add the field (LongBlob) to the table, and I used the "Open value in editor" option to populate the blob fields. I use LibreOffice Base to access my data. Can I populate an image object in LO with the photos in the MySQL DB with an SQL query? I have also asked this in the LO forums, but I'm hedging my bets that someone here may have done this. Thanks.
