Robert,
Does this mean you're using it? If so, could you describe your use, and any caveats?

Dennis,
Thanx very much for the tip. I'm going through the doco at the moment - it looks pretty intense! Could be just what I'm looking for.

Arn - I don't know if this will help, but since I don't see where you've
received any replies, you might take a look at a new Oracle9i feature,
Database Workspace Management.

This is a question that runs right up alongside the "RTFM" answer, but I have not gleaned this from the Oracle documentation.
I have been able to successfully store a range of documents (Word, Excel, etc) in the database, using Intermedia and the ORDDoc object type and adapting the Photo Album demo JSP application that Oracle supplies. Equally, I have been able to retrieve them via the browser and either open them with a plug-in or save them locally.
My problem now is that of maintaining them - change control, I guess. Now, when a document is retrieved from the database, it's only a copy, and thus changes to the copy need to be reloaded into the database, overwriting the current version.
At this point, it appears I would need to build a versioning application that allows documents to be checked out, making it obvious to the user that changes to the local copy will *NOT* automatically be reflected in the database version, and later checked back in, updating the database version to match the local copy.
Is this correct, or have I completely missed something a whole lot simpler?
How are others handling updates to documents stored in the database?
Thanx for any advice!
Regards,
Arn.
