Re: Retrieving binary data

David,

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, using a binary
cursor should solve your problem. See the docs on the "declare [binary]
cursor" SQL command.

I can retrieve the type just fine with the standard method, but the results of getBytes is altered. getString shows just the right thing, but I need the binary. I looked at the source of the driver, and I still don't know exactly what I'm supposed to do. It seems to me that the QueryExecutor is able to fetch a binary tuple, but I don't know how to request one.
