If the files are not "secret" or "for members only", you should better store them somewhere under your http document tree, and store *only* their filenames in the database, then you could provide a link to the file. I think this would be the faster. Or if you want to "protect" the files, you could place them outside your document tree, and then use fileread or something similar to read them. But I'd suggest you to keep only the filenames on the database, and store the files in the filesystem, it'd better for the performance and integrity of the files.
