>>So set up another server with a shared directory for files? That's just one more piece of hardware.
I did'nt say I was in favor, just that if this is what you want to do, it does not justify using a database server. >>you could flush the cache by deleting a directory. You'll still have the originals in the db. You don't need a db to do that. You can do exactly the same with the system file manager. >> The file system also has back up. Yes, one more backup to maintain Are you saying that you are runing your application on a server that does nor back up its files anyway ? >>Then why is microsoft moving towards a database file system? Simply because the SELL a database system ;-) >> I think the reasoning is that it's much more 'efficient' to keep your metadata and file data together and not in separate storage mechanisms. You must be forgeting that tha database system itself is using the same file manager system anyway. The database system is just an extra layer that provides many advantages compared to the standard file system manager. The point is that if you need none of these advantages, you just don't need the layer. >>How easy would that be with a file system? Well, if the files are in some directory only viewable by CF, where is the problem? -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
