Hi,

I saw this post:

https://forum.posit.co/t/storing-and-retrieving-files-images-in-a-database-from-shiny-app/28122

And wanted to find out how to convert a binary back to the normal file type before it was converted to binary. In the post it mentions these steps:

  • retrieve bytes (as hex) from database if / when necessary...
  • serialize to a file for presentation if / when necessary

How do I serialize back to a file, in this case a pptx file that was stored in a sql db that a shiny app will interface with. Appreciate your time and guidance. Thanks.
