1. If you're using the Open Source version of SAP DB, instance
types other than OLTP aren't really relevant. It is not as
if the instance type Document Server magically speeds
up BLOB access.

2. If you're asking about an existing SAP installation,
please use the existing support channels to find the
best server configuration for your requirements.

3. If you're just curious: In the old days, SAP online
documentation was kept in the OLTP database. As this
stressed even large machines, the document server was 
introduced, because it was generally cheaper to
buy a second machine than to buy a larger machine.
There is now a project implemented to make everything
(OLTP, Docs, Business Warehouse) run on one server to
target smaller businesses. But this has more to do with
preventing the applications from stepping on each other
than with the instance types.
