I have been playing around with creation of pdf documents for a project that I’m working on. I would like to store the generated pdf document in a SQL database and then later be able to retrieve this pdf as well.
What are some suggestions for doing this? Can the document be stored in the database without physically creating the document on the server?
This is again going to bring up the debate for/against storing things on the file system or within sql server itself.
It really depends on your needs, the size that you’re expected, etc. Here are some references, each with more references.
Storing a file in a database as opposed to the file system?
store image in database or in a system file?
