Hi,

I have this piece of code:

TStream *bsDBBlob=NULL;
bsDBBlob=Consulta->CreateBlobStream(Consulta->FieldByName("contenido_facturacion"),bmRead);
if (bsDBBlob!=NULL)
{
buffer=new TMemoryStream();
try
{
AnsiString tmp;
bsDBBlob->Position=0;

//If I print bsDBBlob->Size to a file it reports 0, and with tooltip
//over variable inside from IDE it reports me bsDBBlob->Size=44100, the
//code works running code from IDE Debugger, but without the IDE, just
//executing the EXE, it raises at exception caused by bsDBBlob->Size=0,
//so buffer->LoadFromStream(bsDBBlob) is unsuccessful.
//Running with only EXE, printed value to file of bsDBBlob->Size=0

buffer->LoadFromStream(bsDBBlob);
buffer->SaveToFile(fichero_);
}

This is strange, it occurs me with C++Builde5, C++Builder6 and now with
BDS2006. It only works if the code is executed from IDE only.

Any Idea?

It's been a while since I worked with blobs but with all of
the code that I have, I always performed a seek after they
were created. I don't know if that will make a difference but
you can try:

TBlobStream *inStream = NULL;
TFileStream *outStream = NULL;

try
{
inStream = (TBlobStream*) Consulta->CreateBlobStream( Consulta->FieldByName("contenido_facturacion"), bmRead );
outStream = new TFileStream( fichero_, fmCreate );
inStream->Seek( 0, soFromBeginning );
outStream->CopyFrom( inStream, inStream->Size );
}
catch( Exception &E )
{
//
}

delete inStream;
delete poutStream;

If that doesn't do it for you, try inserting a ShowMessage
directly above that block of code. If that allows the blob to
function as expected, then your program has memory management
problems and/or undefined behavior.

Use this instead:

try
{
TStream *inStream =
Consulta->CreateBlobStream(Consulta->FieldByName("contenido_facturacion"),
bmRead);
try
{
TStream *outStream = new TFileStream(fichero_, fmCreate);
try {
outStream->CopyFrom(inStream, 0);
}
__finally {
delete outStream;
}
}
__finally {
delete inStream;
}
}
catch(const Exception &E)
{
//
}

Or this:

#include <memory>

try
{
std::auto_ptr<TStream>
inStream(Consulta->CreateBlobStream(Consulta->FieldByName("contenido_factura
cion"), bmRead));
std::auto_ptr<TStream> outStream(new TFileStream(fichero_,
fmCreate));
outStream->CopyFrom(inStream, 0);
}
catch(const Exception &E)
{
//
}

In particular, you should NEVER cast the return value of CreateBlobStream().
DataSets are free to implement any kind of stream type they want internally.
You are not guaranteed to get a TBlobStream. That is why CreateBlobStream()
returns a generic TStream* - to hide what it actually uses internally.

Also, specifying 0 for the Size in CopyFrom() removes the need for manualy
seeking.
