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. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
