Storing Word docs in Oracle [message #57896] Wed, 16 July 2003 10:14

Hello, I need to be able to store Word documents in my Oracle database and am curious as to the best way to approach this. One thought would be to only keep pointers to the actual file in a table. The other would be to actually store them as blobs, or some similar manner. These docs will not be static, in other words, they will be modified, created, etc.

Does anyone have thoughts on the best way to approach this?

Also, the docs will be accessible via Oracle forms and I am wondering how to pass the proper parameters, or set up a configuration which will allow me to open, modify, and save a doc either in Oracle, or the pointer location. Right now, Word does not seem to know how to deal with saving the doc and wants to do it locally.

Thanks for your help :)
