[python-win32] How to convert an OLE image from ODBC?

[Steven James]

It appears that your database is adding a header of its own on the image
file (or maybe this is part of it being an OLE object, not sure).

If you strip off the first 88 bytes, this is a standard windows bitmap file.
The following code works on your file, but for your code you should just
start dumping the data at the 89th byte.

dump_file = file('show.dump', 'rb')
out_file = file('show.bmp', 'wb')

dump_file.seek(88)
out_file.write(dump_file.read())

dump_file.close()
out_file.close()
