[Database_FMContainer]
Returns the raw data contained in a FileMaker container field. Requires one parameter which is the name of the field.
The [Database_FMContainer] tag functions differently depending on whether FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server Advanced data sources are being accessed.
FileMaker Pro - Only image data can be fetched from container fields. An optional -Type parameter can specify GIF or JPEG along with additional quality arguments the Web Companion supports.
FileMaker Server Advanced - Any type of data can be fetched from a container field. The tag automatically handles any data type that can be stored in FileMaker.
The [Database_FMContainer] tag always returns a byte stream. The results of this tag will be most typically sent to the current site visitor using [File_Serve].
