I was very excited to hear about the new API Express featured and have started to try it out. I have hit a couple problems right away though:
According to the doc page for the feature the BLOB datatype is supported on mysql databases. I have setup a mysql instance in Amazon RDS and have a table that has a BLOB column.
In API express I can successfully connect to the DB instance but when I try to create a model for this table the BLOB column shows as UNKNOWN data type. See the category_icon column in the screenshot below:
After creating the model/project in API Express I go in to the app builder to create the services. As described in the doc I select Create New-Extensions. But the only choice I have under Extensions is for "App Creator Express". I see no choice for "API Express Generator" as the doc describes.
Please help as I really would like to try out this new feature and see if it will let me quickly create the services I need for an external DB.
