Description:
It would be convenient to have a function to transform binary data into base64 character data.

How to repeat:
n/a

Many thanks for writing a feature request. Our development will discuss this.

Functions to_base64() and from_base64() were added into mysql-5.6

Hi Taras,

Thank you for the feature request, and for helping to make MySQL even better!

I'm closing this FR for now, as this function was added in MySQL 5.6:

Thanks again!
