The opinion on database best practice for documents and image files seems to
be to keep the documents in the file system, and the file paths in the
database. Of course it all depends on how you want to serve them up. And so
on.

Tom, I think that I will have everything in the database. It is easier
to back up and process.

Just an update on this: I received the set of DVDs. As I expected, the
eBay seller who sold them,is a real scumbag: he clearly downloaded
most manuals from LOGSA or some other place like that, slapped his
"watermark" on them and claims "copyright" on those manuals. Yet some
others, he stole from other websites, but still slapped his
watermark.

There is no surprise here for me, as all CD sellers are sleazebags of
this sort. Honest people do not go into this kind of racket.

This is exactly why I want to kill their business.

I will not republish his manuals. I will, however, download some of
the same manuals from the government and will republish those. I have
a script to do so.

As I said, they will be offered for free and I will keep a torrent
running with all of them. I will limit my upload speed in order to
keep my internet connection working well, so downloading of torrents
will be slow until some more peers pick up the files.
