I'm using the perl DBD (1.06) and DBI (1.14) and the Oracle 8.1.7
database to generate dynamic webpages using data pulled from the
database. I would like to know if there is a way to click on a link on
a generated webpage, pull the document from a BFILE (*.pdf, *.doc,
*.xls) in a table and have it use the browsers MIME type to open it.
In essense, have it act like you clicked on a pdf link on a webpage
and have the browser fire up Adobe Acrobat. Is this possible? Has
anyone had any luck in doing something similar to this?
TIA
