The way that people (ie do***ent management systems) have done this in the
past is a)used image data types or b) simply held a URL which the client
picks up and processes either from a shared directory or a "lightweight
web
server" (google for details)
Current Sql databases are not very good at processing large blobs
efficiently (despite the marketing b******t) as any processing - even just
a passthru mode costs performance on big files.
