It's actually far more complicated than that. DSpace simply won't function without a database. You couldn't even have a format registry that told you it was a pdf without a database, let alone have user authentication, metadata, etc. The database is also used to store other information about the file such as size, name, location on disk, etc. cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.
