title: Rails: displaying an image from a blob field in a database
body: <p>So, I managed to get an image blob into my MySQL database (there's a big hex number in the field), but I can't find any documentation on how to display the image in a rails environment... when it prints out, it starts with a GIF89... and then the gobbledygook characters you see in a GIF when you open it in Notepad.  : P  Any clues would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
