   Here are some considerations:

1. How many documents / how much storage?
2. Do you need to manipulate the documents while they are stored?
3. Consider Oracle ifs http://www.orafaq.org/faqifs.htm
4. What are your performance requirements?

We have got a requirement to keep all the documents on repository. We are looking on the possibility of keeping documents on Database or filesysytem.

Could you please let me know your views which one I should go for.

Regards,

Dhanvir
