Hi -

We have an application group that is interested in storing documents in the database. Some of these documents are word docs or excel spreadsheets, while others are actual image files. We have looked into the interMedia ordimage type, which seems to work great for the images, but doesn't work for the documents.

Is there some other way within interMedia to manipulate the documents?

Would they need more than one column - ie. one to store images and another to store documents?

From a DBA perspective - does it make sense to store these in the database?

Thanks for any help you can offer -
