[archive] Can we make a picture from a mysql-blob

Is it possible to make a picture of a mysql blob-type and how?

I cannot imagine this would be easily accomplished, you would have to copy the data into a binary file structure and store it as a file first in order to be able to load it with w$bitmap. Having said that, there are also functionality in the API to "load" a bitmap from a memory area, but that is a long story....
