Does this mean you (or the DB) retrieve the object
from   from the database and save it to the file
system (in the document root)?  I would think this
would be relatively slow.  I understand you said
Informix has a function to do this for you, and this
may speed up the process, but I would think this
wouldn't be particularly scalable.  Though it could be
fine for a low-volume app....

just wondering.
