    What do you all suggest as the most effective way to do this?  Store a
pointer to the document?  Store the document?  As what - a blob?  And how is
the document reconstituted with all of its formatting intact after you get
in out of the database?  They want to have users hit the database over the
web and be able to see the spreadsheets they have permissions on.
