The blocker for testing this out and using it at my place of employment is lack of binary data type in MySQL, any plans to add this?

Definitely. Do you expect the resulting data to also be in binary / bytes format in your DWH?

I ask because there's a workaround by setting `binary.handling.mode` to a STRING type [1].

Transfer will then automatically pick this up and write this as a B64 string to the DWH.

Thanks for the reply! We'll be keeping an eye on it
