reading BLOB as word-doc or word-pad

oracle.aceNov 26 2007 — edited Nov 27 2007

Hi Guys,

Need urgent help on reading BLOB as a word-doc or word-pad (txt) files.

We've one BLOB column called REPORTDATA storing .doc (word doc files) and .txt (word-pad) in it. But, while reading them as "echo $results["REPORTDATA"][$i] " gives the data with garbage characters in it and also these are not formatted.

I would like to open these BLOBS in MS Word or Wordpad based on extension so that formatting remains as it is.

1. Is this possible to display BLOBs in MS-word or word-pad?
2. how to take care of BLOB stream to take caer of proper formatting?
3. Any other alternatives?

Would appreciate quick update based on your expertise..

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Dipen
