I would like to be able to extract a BLOB from the database (Informix)
and pass it to a browser without writing it to a file. (The BLOB's
are word doc's, MS project doc's, and Excel spreadsheets.

Is it is possible on Unix to designate a directory as a virtual
directory, (i.e it only exist it memory), so that I can extract the
file from the database, write it to the virtual directory and then
pass it to the browser?

Any other suggestions that would allow me to move a BLOB from an RDBMS
directly to a browser?
