Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.6.7	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	Jon Stephens	CPU Architecture:	Any

File:	Maximum allowed size is 50MB.
Description:
Privacy:

If the data you need to attach is more than 50MB, you should create a compressed archive of the data, split it to 50MB chunks, and upload each of them as a separate attachment.

To split a large file:

On *nix platforms use the split command e.g. split -b 50MB <my_large_archive> <my_split_archive_prefix>
On windows use WinZip or a similar utility to split the large file

Example JSON output from 5.7.5-m15 "create table t1 (id int); EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON SELECT * FROM t1"

Attachment: data.json (application/json, text), 466 bytes.

Example JSON schema

Attachment: schema.json (application/json, text), 1.39 KiB.

Python script to validate the data against the schema

Attachment: val.py (application/x-python, text), 259 bytes.
