hrmmm, i'm not sure what would constitute 'off the beaten track'. is
there something specific that i could look for? or what is considered
to be normal?
I can tell you that the large objects that are getting chucked into
the database are generally under 1MB in size (each), as they're mostly
M$ documents. There are a few that are between 1MB & 10MB but I don't
think there's anything larger than 10MB.
