Two potential benefits - the packaged data uses only normal characters so the data is easily worked with. Also, Flame didn't ever indicate how zie intended to use it so I've no idea whether the pack/unpack function needs to be present in MySQL or may be external.

Anonymous Monk (at least one of them) was correct, I do selects based upon specific points. Currently using it as a text field I use substring.

My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
