RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Verity and Blobs

[John Mason]

There are two main uses of verity. 1)       Searching files in a directory structure (cfm, pdf, doc, etc) 2)       Searching specific text in database sources (like in sourcing items in text or ntext fields)   Verity is simply a smaller index database pointing to where the searches are pointing to.   Why are they wanted to put the documents into the database? Are they running Sql Server or Oracle to do this?   John [EMAIL PROTECTED]     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Ross Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 12:24 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Verity and Blobs   hmm.. I'm not sure on that one... in my experience with verity I didn't choose that direction.  I just stored the files outside of the web docroot and indexed them normally. I have an aversion to storing files in the db...  I would think it would slow verity down a bit pulling all that data from the db. If Verity can't index files that are stored in the db you may have to end up writing a query to dump all the data to the file system and then run your indexer (now that would be painstaking). The livedocs don't really reveal an answer to you question. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001303.htm On 8/11/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We are looking at potentially storing files in the database.  I'm not a big fan of that, but it's a possibility.  Can Verity index files if they are in the database?
