Enroll stores the written file in a binary field within the MySQL db.
Upon authentication simply query the binary field within the MySQL db to 
do comparisons which would then write a local copy of the enrolled 
fingerprint file?

I think that would be a better solution then trying to stream the 
fp_print_data_from_data() to a db field.

Daniel, have you not included some optional compile options for database 
support?
IE ./configure --enable-mysql OR ./configure --enable-ldap
