Hi Alan, Thanks for your reply. Well, that could be an option (I am not sure). Let me ask some more questions. From my understanding, File Streaming APIs are built over the Database System, which means it uses underlying Database APIs and provides a file view for user convenient. As a result, using File APIs would be slower than using Database. So do you think I should break down the file into 64K chunks to make things (access/read/search) faster?
Please let me know if I misunderstood/misinterpreted the basic concept.
