Thanks Maria and Martin for your answers. I prefer the Intermeida option than the IFS
option since IFS requires a big server to run and relatively new, where Intermedia
(formerly Context) has been there for a number of years. I would need
to do some reading re. Intermedia and BFILE.
Thanks
Long

Hi Maria,
IFS would involve scanning the whole document whereas Intermedia allows
for indexing the documents.

yes, its possible.
although, from my experience indexing a bfile takes a lot longer than
indexing a blob...
and why not try using IFS for this?
