I think I know the answer, but if you don't have an "application server" - ie a webserver, etc, and many of the workstations/clients that need access to the images but may not have access to a network share, isn't the database the only choice ? - or is there a postgresql function/utility that will "server" the file from the file system based on the reference/link embeded in the database ??
