| Hello,Is there an SQL function or a tool to convert binary blob data into the original file (word doc/excel file/pdf etc...). Please advise. Thank you!Background: My application uses a functionality called "Unarchive". This function unarchives one application object from the archive database to the main database. Right now, it appears that two particular application objects are failing to get "unarchived". We are troubleshooting from the app perspective to get to the root cause. However, the information in one of the files (of the application object) is stored as a binary blob in a SQL table. My customer's legal dept wants this info urgently for a case filed in labour court. |
