I have successfully implemented a CF application that uploads or downloads documents to an Oracle database. This approach was chosen for security and full-text searching reasons. To accomplish this, I used a custom tag called CFX_BlobManager available from www.coresecure.com. (It is a commercial package.) There is another custom tag for MSSQL databases called CFX_GetImage available in the Macromedia CF Exchange Forum, but I don't have any experience with that.
