Extracting image data from Firebird table

[hiigaran]

I’m working with an odb file that has images stored on a Firebird table as Blob. Quite frankly, it’s cumbersome, and saving this several hundred megabyte file every time I’m done with it is painful. The guy who made this database needs a whack over the head.

So, hopefully simple question: Can I extract the image data from the table, and save it as its original file type on my local drive?

Will work only by macro.
Have a look at Base Guide: Reading and Displaying Images…
You have to get the binary stream from the database.

Easier implementation than I expected. Saw another thread here that had more convoluted suggestions I couldn’t figure out, so I’m glad this one worked so well. Cheers
