I think too, if they are Big-Blobs, it is better to store only a Reference to a File.
May i know litlle more clearly about this?What it mean actually? Right now what i am doing is, I have a directory in which somany files are there and i have loaded all the files into database and the data(ie content of files as blob). But my application is reading only 512 bytes at a time..If that is the case how can i perform / handle this data . Please suggest me your views. Thanks a lot Sandhya R
