Anyone ever stored a PDF file in UDB?

Got some new app requirements...UDB8 FP5 / SunOs 5.8 (cluster).

App wants to store PDF files for storage / retreival and display back to web page.

Been reading up on db2 extenders, but not liking the additional costs and management outside the database.

Nothing crazy as far as size goes, less than 10 mb total, but more than just text of course...few banners and formatting.

Thanks if you have any info.

Unless you want special functionalituy(eg. search), you can save the files as BLOB ...

Refer to appl building guide and appl development guide for examples of handling blobs ..

sqllib/samples may also nhave samples

Cheers
