Well I don't have your schema but I would keep your existing Table A and create another table call it documents that has a foreign key to Table A's ID column.

For example,
Table A
ID = 1

Table B (2 columns (or 3 if you don't want composite key)
Columns
Filename
Table A ID

Then you can have a single record in Table A but many filenames in Table B.

How do I store files in a database? I have done something similar before in a none microsoft language in a previous lifetime, byt breaking it down into chunks and storing it in a BLOB field.

How would I go about storing data files on my web host? I have an Access database driven website and I would like to save files and be able to download them. Can somebody point me in the right direction of how I would go about doing that? I am thinking about storing the locations of them in the database and the physical files somewhere else. Not sure how to go about it though. Thanks.

I'm a little weak on my basic I/O. Help me out please. Is it right to say that I can just open any file with file(), get it as a string, and then store in a MySql database, in, say, a MediumText field? I realize that MySql supports binary fields, but my current MySql schema does not have any binary fields, and I'm wondering if I can store the file without changing my current schema. Can I recreate the file later, if I wish, just be...

I want to know if this practice is effective and secure: I have been thinking about storing some data, which my users upload, in text files rather than database, since often I do not know how much information users submit for things like item description or images URL paths. This information may be very short or very long. MS SQL Server requires a maximum field length to be set. Thus, if user enters 5 characters into 5000 character field,...
