    Default Pulling BLOBs from Database

    Hi guys,
    Any help here would be most appreciated. I have a table, one field of
    which is type BLOB. I wish to extract this data using a Coldfusion page and
    have the user be able to save it (similar to an attachment). I have my reasons
    for not placing the data elsewhere and linking it. I would appreciate it if
    someone could help me out with a little code here. The BLOBs are already
    inserted, so that isn't really an issue. Just retrieving it. For example:

    A .zip file is saved in the BLOB. There is a field, fileName, which holds the
    original filename of the BLOB. I want to get the user to be able to retrieve
    this by inserting a value (Primary Key), which will do a query, and retrieve
    the appropriate file, allowing them to "save as", similar to attachments. Any
    help would be most appreciated. Thanks again!
    Sincerely,
    JL
