How to get a blob with esql?

[Ulrich Mayring <ul...@denic.de>]

Hi all,

the subject says it all, more or less. When I use get-string esql
terminates at that point, i.e. it closes the result set, even if there
is more data. This used to work with the SQL processor and the SQL
taglib, I didn't need to do anything special to retrieve a blob there
(except wrapping it in a <pre> block to output it in HTML).

Why does it seem silly? Is there any other way I can get at the blob data?
Why did it work before with the SQL processor and taglib?

thanks for any info,

well, i never wrote an esql:get-bytes method, since it seems kinda silly
in this context, but if you see a need for one, i can add it.
