Wrong conversion between slow and fast buffer

[efolio]

Problem description:
Create a database with a single binary column, put an image in it. Create a query for this cell, put the resulting buffer in a file and try to open it. The file is pretty much always corrupted.

Reason:
I found this is due to the fact that the data is converted to a String type before the buffer creation. Though this is the quickest way to create a Buffer from a char*, this also implies an utf-8 conversion that scrambles the content of the buffer.

I have a proposed patch for this I'll attach right away.

Same issue here. The patch works wonders. Thanks.

I had actually come up with a more involved solution, but this is much nicer. Thank you!
