Description:
I am trying to use the mysqldump tool with "--hex-blob" option through which i would like to see the binary fields are taken in hex format.But this is not working...i cannot see any difference with mysqldump having --hex-blob option or without it.

Can you let us know whether is this a known bug?Or is the version of mysqlcluster doesn't have the patch for that? (I am using nortel specific mysqlcluster mysql-5.1.23-ndb-6.2.13p-telco)

Thanks in advance...

How to repeat:
use mysqldump with --hex-blob option on a table which has varbinary/binary fields.and repeat it without --hex-blob option compare the first one with the latter.

Thank you for the report.

Not, behavior which you describe is not correct. Please provide output of SHOW CREATE TABLE and couple of rows you see such behavior with.
