Writing blob from SQLite to file using Python

Viewed 24914

A clueless Python newbie needs help. I muddled through creating a simple script that inserts a binary file into a blog field in a SQLite database:

import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('database.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
input_note = raw_input(_(u'Note: '))
    input_type = 'A'
    input_file = raw_input(_(u'Enter path to file: '))
        with open(input_file, 'rb') as f:
            ablob = f.read()
            f.close()
        cursor.execute("INSERT INTO notes (note, file) VALUES('"+input_note+"', ?)", [buffer(ablob)])
        conn.commit()
    conn.close()

Now I need to write a script that grabs the contents of the blob field of a specific record and writes the binary blob to a file. In my case, I use the SQLite database to store .odt documents, so I want to grab and save them as .odt files. How do I go about that? Thanks!
