assuming the files aren't overly large, this would be the way to go (otherwise
it might be better to store just the filenames in the gdb and leave the actual
files on disk - this of course introduces more questions, like how to give the
users access to those files etc.)

So, when they are not too large, you can just use a blob field and an ordinary
Insert/Update statement with e.g. a TIB_Query. The TIB_ColumnBlob field class
has a LoadFromFile method all ready for you.
