Assuming you have the SAS/ACCESS inteface to MySQL, then you could use a pass-through query or access the database through a LIBNAME statement. SAS will read in the BLOB variable as a character string, so the variable length might be a limitation.
You can read more about how to do this at SAS/ACCESS Interface to MySQL.
