Are you going to index the PDFs to make them searchable?

I intend to do that... but I don't know how I can do that without uploading them to the database... I'm not really a programmer, you know? I just like to play with fancy toys

edit: Oh, I found this. Any of you ever used the XPDF package?

nah. There's the core PDF API Package. Have you checked that out?

You don't need to upload files to a database; you can merely organize the file structure in the database, and retrieve the files from their position via the database.

No, not yet. But I'm reading the manual now, thanks

The more I read, the more I see I'll end up doing that

I would just store references to the files in the database. Like someone else mentioned, for the most part random access databases are better at pulling back small bits.

Then again, if you store all the meta-data in one table and the PDFs/Files in another and just relate them then it wouldn't be that bad.

Happy coding!

Originally posted by Lira I've been thinking of developing a personal database in my computer to retrieve and organise files similar to the way I think. I wonder how stupid it would be to upload huge files to a MySQL database, though (by huge I mean +100mb big files). Thoughts?

So your going to install a web server , mysql and prob php or asp on your PC just so you can find files ? whats wrong with using VISTA indexing tool or Google desktop ? , also what is the point of storing files within a database ? your windows file system is practically a database ? maybe im missing something...

I can't use tags in either, can I? I can only add tags to MS Office files on Vista

You can add keywords to PDFs in Vista. Right Click -> Properties -> PDF tab -> Keywords.

tag2find helps you to find everything on your desktop by simply using tags. Directories & folders were the structure of the 20th century. Now it's time for something new - TAG IT!

How about this ?
