That's $219 saved if you're on MacOS X, since PDF conversion is universally available to any application that can print. >Once you have the document in PDF, it's a relatively trivial action to store >the documents in your MySQL database. Using BLOBs, I assume? I believe the original quester also wanted to be able to search them, which I believe is non-trivial! You can't simply slap a FULLTEXT index on them, right? It seems to me one would have to create an index BEFORE putting the PDFs in MySQL, then add that index as a separate FULLTEXT field. ---- SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL SQL ---- -- : Jan Steinman -- nature photography: <http://www.Bytesmiths.com> : Bytesmiths -- artists' services: <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Services> : Join the forums at <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/wiki> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
