Dear all, Please excuse a newbie question. I am interested in storing articles (up to 300k) in a database, and some may have formatting and contain graphics like a word document. Is it possible to do this in mySql and if so e.g. in a TEXT or BLOB field, how do I store an article and then retrieve it. I would have a separate column for an index to the article. Have I misunderstood and do I need a specialised front end client program (not Visual Basic as I am using Mac OS X ). Any help, pointers, examples would be greatly appreciated.
