phpMyAdmin supports RTF editing?

I have a MySQL database.  I want to store rich text in some blob fields and need a way to manage this (get the rich text in there / modify it).  An Expert said that phpMyAdmin supports RTF editing.  I've installed it but cannot find this capability.

How can I use phpMyAdmin to edit blob fields that contain Rich Text?

Not to my knowledge, but that doesn't mean someone could not add it.  Or you can code your own mini-gateway specifically for that purpose.  There are plenty of RTF editor controls.

How would I begin?

I am working with TinyMCE - is this what you mean by RTF editor controls?

K - thanks for the overview.  htmlentities to avoid script injection?
You can always entity-ize the file contents.  It can't hurt, and will prevent someone from closing your </textarea> tag unexpectedly.  IIRC, TinyMCE and ckEditor both use precautions against that, so make sure your efforts are not being duplicated.
k thanks-
