For instance, I'd like to
1) convert, say, a file 'explorer.exe' into a string, say, $blobbdata
2) store that in a blob of a database, which is straightforward
3) reread that, from the database into a string, say, $blobbdata
4) convert $blobbdata into a file, say 'explorer.exe', (and execute it)
Sounds easy, no! ;)
