in reply to Sybase DBD and Perl - Retrieving images from the DB and saving to disk

To fetch or write (uni)text or image datatype values, you need to use readtext (http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc36272.1550/html/commands/X28630.htm) & writetext (http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc36272.1550/html/commands/CIHIFBAF.htm) functions involving pointers & sizes.

All the blame goes to PerlMonks for links not being clickable as I got "Permission denied" error when I tried.

    Actually, the spammers are to blame that we can't have nice things on the internet. I've whitelisted http://infocenter.sybase.com/ now.

    Update: The URLs above have been turned into links now.

    Actually DBD::Sybase already deals with the text pointers itself, so never mind my previous reply imploring the "need to use" (read|write)text functions.
