New skills for me: I've been given a db w/ docs as binary data in .rtf, .pdf, .xls, ..., etc.
To produce these docs (in order to save them to the file system) ... I have to write an app which queries the db, selects the doc-type, and passes the binary data as a stream to the appropriate application (eg, wordpad, adobe, excel, ..., etc.)?
Am I likely to find such apps already written as open source (Windows apps)?
Or have I entirely missed the boat on this?
All suggestions considered. Thanks.
