hello

MySql has binary field types, but, are they long (in size) enough for 
your file ?
if the file is small, i guess you could store the data in the mysql 
field, but, and if files are user choosen ???

why dont u consider storing the data, or the file, in some directory and 
just put the location (file name) in some field in the database ?? is 
more safe and overflow free

cheers
