Usually it is difficult to decide were to store files, uploaded by application users - as file on hard disk or in a database. But for those of you who want to store files in a database we recommend these CFX Java tags. It was not easy to work with large database objects in early ColdFusion versions. And we had some hardships resolved by using present CFX tags. jBLOB library is a set of easy to use ColdFusion CFX Java classes used to read and write binary information to and from database. jBLOB can be used to upload docs (images, MS Office files, etc) into Oracle, MSSQL and any databases with ODBC connection. The set of classes can be used on UNIX and NT platforms so jBLOB is universal and ultimate solution for ColdFusion developers who work with large data objects. Installation procedure has four steps: Check/install JDBC drivers Copy and register CFX tags Create demo database MSSQLBLOB Copy ColdFusion demo script to web server directory Tag Syntax Note: demo version can store files with size up to 8000 bytes only!
