As requested by Jason Weathersby here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/263628/ I'm submitting this request for a IDocArchiveWriter/Reader that works with databases (or standard Output/InputStreams). I've had a go at doing this but have struggled to reconcile BIRT's random access requirements (in the API, though seemingly not used) and database blob transactions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to implement a IDocArchiveWriter that works with a database and streams direct to blobs.
2. Run the report (IRunTask) passing the new IDocArchiveWriter.
3. Observe what appears in the database.
