I would like to provide a dynamic link to a file in a WORepetition.
The archives of this and the Omni lists have provided me with the
following ideas for how to solve the problem:
1. Get the file from the database
Con: Slower as more connections/work is needed, and can't steam file
straight to the browser, also can't go to the file and modify it
directly
Pro: Easy to implement and if you ever have to move your app to a
different machine you only need to copy the DB across, not worrying
about change folder paths etc, securely stored the file
2. Get the file from the file system via a data object
This is mine and I believe most people preferred option
Con: Slightly more work to implement
Pro: files can be streamed to browser and can be stored in a secure
location
3. Directly link to the file using a hyperlink
Con: Files must be stored in a web accessible folder so not very secure
Pro: Easy to implement and fast file downloads and perhaps you want all
your files accessible from the web
What are the pros and cons of the various choices?
David
