Well, I've managed to get an image into a postgre database, but now I'm
having trouble getting it out.
#! /usr/bin/env python
from pyPgSQL import PgSQL
def main():
connectdb = PgSQL.connect('server:port:database:username:passw ord')
cur = connectdb.cursor()
sqlStatement = """SELECT image from images where image_id = 1"""
cur.execute(sqlStatement)
rec = cur.fetchone()
# TODO make temp file name include image_id.
# TODO use tempfile module
# TODO clean up old temp files
tempFileName = "1.jpg"
tempFile = open(tempFileName, "w")
tempFile.write(rec[0])
tempFile.close()
cur.close()
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print """"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>

"""
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./dispimage.py", line 39, in ?
main()
File "./dispimage.py", line 16, in main
tempFile.write(rec[0])
TypeError: argument 1 must be string or read-only character buffer, not
instance
So, rec[0] is an instance, but an instance of what? Since I needed to
use the PgSQL.PgBytea method on the image before inserting it into the
database, do I need to use a similar method to undo what PgBytea did to
it, or am I incorrectly writing this binary data? I tried
PgSQL.PgUnQuoteBytea(rec[0]), but that didn't work.
Can anyone show me the TypeError of my ways? Is there a good example
somewhere that shows getting binary data out of a database?
Thanks. 4 2391

What does
print rec[0]
give you?

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't check the group/list over the
weekend.
Anyway, I added a print rec[0] just after the fetchone. Then I ran it
from the command line, and it spewed a bunch of binary gibberish nearly
locking up Putty.
To me, it seems like it's coming out in the right format, but I'm not
sure what I'm doing wrong. If you have any ideas, I'd really
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike

What does
print rec[0].__class__
give you?
And what about using
tempFile.write(str(rec[0]))
if print really resulted in the binary data, this might help.
The DB-Api isn't too detailed about binary columns at all - the just
mentioned a Binary() object, and something about buffer objects. I'm not
sure how to ndeal with these - they seem to be mentioned in the
C-Api-Section only.
Sorry that I can't be of more help.

whew!
tempFile.write(str(rec[0])) works!
printing rec[0].__class__ puts out pyPgSQL.PgSQL.PgBytea
