Subject RE: [RBASE-L] - Saving PDF inside DB
I have an application that collects thousands of PDF files each year.
Instead of storing the actual files inside the database, we organize
them in a structured subdirectory and only record the file name and
location in the database.
The reasoning is simple: once collected, these PDFs don’t change. If
they were stored directly in the database, it would grow unnecessarily
large, and every backup would include the same static, unchanged data —
wasting disk space and time. By keeping the database lean and storing
the PDFs externally, backups remain efficient and the files are still
accessible to other applications when needed.
Of course, your application may have different requirements, so this
approach might not be the optimal strategy in every case.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Saving PDF inside DB
Hello everyone, I have used R:base to store all kinds of images
(BMP,PNG,JPG,ICO, etc)
without a problem, but it seem that I missed out the class on how to
store and retrieve a PDF file.
Is there anyone who has done that (I imagine the answer is yes) and
care to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for the help you can give me.
Dr. Robert Rugilo
