XF 2.2 how do I save varbinary data to database;

[dsick]

can we insert varbinary data as a normal string or is there an extra step? the field id column is varbinary.

$threadFieldValues = \XF::app()->em()->create('XF:ForumField');
                $threadFieldValues->node_id = 2;
                $threadFieldValues->field_id = "fieldidtests";
                // var_dump($threadFieldValues);
                $threadFieldValues->save();

No, you don't need to do anything extra to manipulate binary data.
