Then you better develop a function plugin which will create the document from BLOB and return a document id. Then a download link can be given in the SAIL script

Thanks all.

We want to have a link in the SAIL form, the link should download file from database and present to the user, while RDBMS Blob Utility can only be used in a Process Modal.

If we want to use the database connections, Better to use the JNDO Lookup.. this is the best practice..

ServiceContext should be first argument in the constructor. Yes, if required JDBC connection can be invoked from plug-in code. Try to minimize or avoid JDBC connections as you loose flexibility and increases maintenance in terms of configuration.

There's an example in this plug-in forum.appian.com/.../summary The source code is inside the JAR and it's called ExecuteQuery.java

I would be really cautious with this, not sure what you are going to do with the retrieved data but if you're going to create a document in Appian with it you better use the RDBMS Blob Utility plug-in forum.appian.com/.../summary
