Hi,
I would like to be able to have gifs/jpgs stored in an MS access
database and then pull the out using zope and display them in rendered
documents. I am completely new to access. I have successfully
installed the ODBCDA into zope, and are able to connect to an access
database and pull ordinary text data out of tables.
I have created a table in access with a column of type 'OLE object' and
put a gif image in as data. This is the only way I know how to get an
image into the table. The problem I think with this is that it is a
link to the gif on the HDD, and doesn't actually have the data in the
table? Anyway, when I pull the data out of the table from zope, access
puts a header and footer around the gif binary data, and hence a simple
<dtml-var blah> wont work to display the image. Has anyone else every
pulled images from an access database. Will I have to write a method to
strip the header and footer from the returned data before displaying the
gif?
terry.
