Default Handling OTA downloads when files are stored in DB

Please Login to Remove!

I'm working on a little project and before I get to far I need to ask about OTA downloads. Mimetypes and such things aren't exactly my expertise, nor is exactly what happens when you initiate an OTA download with a .jad file.

In my application I'm storing my files in MySQL MEDIUMBLOB data fields. I know how to store and retrieve the data. My issue is, how can I make OTA downloads work using data stored in the DB? Just from observation, it seems like the OTA installation process looks for .cod files in the same directory with the same naming scheme as the .jad file.

If anyone can give me any advice, I'd really appreciate it. The rest of my app works beautifully with the files being stored in the DB and I don't want to have to rethink everything just for OTA installs. Thanks!
