What Our Customers Say

"As a retail DBA, we needed to import 100k+ product images to our MySQL 8.0 database weekly. Withdata replaced our messy LOAD_FILE() scripts with a simple CLI job - zero errors and 90% less time spent on imports."

Jane Smith

DBA | North American E-commerce Platform

"We run MySQL on Linux servers and struggled to find a BLOB import tool that didn't require Windows. Withdata works flawlessly on Ubuntu, and the scheduled tasks let us auto-import PDF invoices nightly without manual intervention."

Marco Rossi

IT Ops Manager | European Manufacturing Firm

"The GUI saved our non-technical team from learning MySQL BLOB syntax. They can now import Excel and PDF files to our MariaDB 10.6 database independently, and the detailed logs make troubleshooting a breeze when issues arise."
