what media component can I use if I want to (for example) upload PDF file to database such as mySQL?

? what do you mean by this?

Accepted practice for saving binary files with mySQL is to upload the file to a directory on the server, and to save the link/url/path in mySQL.

You can upload binary files as "blobs" to mySQL but this can create an overhead due to file sizes.

There is no "built-in component" to upload .pdf files, maybe an extension can help you.
