Environment:
Sybase/ODBC/Windows/Python2.5
I have been given a legacy database, and need to read the binaryfiles out to a
disk. The table has columns "filename" and "binaryFile", where the binaryFile
is a BLOB
My python script so far is:
import pyodbc
cnxn=pyodbc.Connection("DSN=sybasedatabase")
cursor=cnxn.cursor()
p=cursor.execute("select top 1 * from FOO..Table").fetchone()
#p contains ('UsersOldFile.rtf', <read-only buffer for 0x010E1540, size 1496,
offset 0 at 0x010C04E0>)
#I tried to write this out to the disk as:
myfile=open(p[0],'wb')
myfile.write(p[1])
myfile.close()
#but all I get is gibberish. Is there another way to handle the buffer, or
something else I'm missing?
