I'm attempting to code a Java program. Right now I'm in the process of trying to convert a file (could be any extension, mostly would be word docs and powerpoint presentations) to binary to be stored in a mySQL database, but not sure how to go about doing it.

    Generally speaking, storing binary objects in the database isn't highly recommended, it can degrade the performance of the database and blow out the size. Generally, you store a reference to the file within the local context instead – MadProgrammer Jan 29 '17 at 08:28
  • "convert a file to binary", files are already binary... – Mark Rotteveel Jan 29 '17 at 08:31
