[FEATURE REQUEST] Is there a way to dump the varchar or text column as hex(col) and insert them with unhex("<col_hexstring">) about mydumper HOT 1 OPEN

Hi @trikker , uuuufffff.... we might be able to do that with masquerade, but the problem is that masquerade uses the same memory reserved to the data on the column, and you are adding unhex(...) which are 7 more characters. There is no space there... we might be able to do it, if you create a config file like this:

[`test`.`tt`]
columns_on_select=id,concat(concat('      ',name),' ')

And then we add a function to masquerade that inserts unhex( to the begining and then ) to the end.
It will be a bit crazy but I think that it will be doable.
