34492	I get an error when using BinaryField in sqllite3.	Taikono-Himazin	nobody	"I'm working with data in Blobs in sqlite. It is purely binary (like an image for example) and not information that can be converted to a string.
When I get that data through django's model, I get the following error:

I researched quite a bit about this, but there wasn't much information on the internet.
Please suggest me a workaround. 
I don't need the msrepl_synctran_ts data to be visible/editable in the django model. I just want to load a model with a column called msrepl_synctran_ts."	Uncategorized	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	3.2	Normal	invalid	BinaryField		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
