Re: Need suggestion

Thanks for the replies, and suggestion from Ognjen, Ben Chobot, John R Pierce, Tomás, and Karsten... I checked the links, and I decided, that I cannot decide :-) because I don't know, how large could be the infrastructure for this. If I store the images, and scanned docus in the database, a radically larger enviroment will be needed, than if I store only the link. My boss will decide, and I will implement anything, that he wants, I just wanted to collect some experience, that you have, and that you have provided form me, and many thanks for it :-)

Thanks again,

Regards,

Carl.

You would want to write better queries than

       select * from my_table_with_bytea_column;

anyway.

At least for retrieval even BYTEA can be accessed piecemeal:

       select substring(bytea_column from <start> for <number_of_bytes>)
