Don't reinvent the wheel. Find an existing document management system,
and install it with Firebird as its database.

Subject: [firebird-support] Store large amount of Binary Data in FB



Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a software in which all the documentations that
are generated in our organization should be stored.

For this I have created a BLOB type field also.

Now my problem is that the data that I want to store in this BLOB
field consists of a variety of files which are .DOC, .TIF, .JPG, .RTF,
.TGA, .PDF, .XLS, .PNG, .DWG, .DXF. The average file size is around 23
MB and there are currently 300 files.

How can I store these files in the BLOB field?

Is it advisable to store such huge binary data in FireBird? If yes
what strategy should I use here?

Can FB handel such huge binary data effeceintly?

Please advise on this.

TIA

Yogi Yang
