    Only added note is I had to restart Workbench for this to take affect.

    Nice fix, thank you!

    This isn’t working for me…. I’m changing the setting and restarting the program and I’m still getting a “blob” value. Using Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Workbench 5.2.47. What am I missing?

    Thanks! I found this settings in Edit -> Preferences -> SQL Queries and didn’t had to restart Workbench (Version 6.0.8).
