Hello all,

Howdy.


I have a database with JPEGs stored in a blob field and I want to display them on an HTML web page with out creating a new file.jpg for each connection.

I'm currently hunting on Google, but I have no idea where to start. I use Apache 1.3.27, Perl 5.6.1 with DBI->DBD::Interbase on Linux 2.4 machine. I'm quite comfortable with Perl, DBI, CGI and HTML.

Any direction, documentation, script examples, etc. would be great.

I know of no way to do this, so I'll leave it to others to provide a clever solution.


However, when I was learning SQL, this is one of the reasons they told us not to store binaries in database fields. I was taught that it's better to use the filesystem for that kind of thing and just store the document name in the database. I have no idea if you have any choice about this, but there's my not terribly helpful tip, if you do.
