Re: Simple question from a beginner: Can I use PostgreSQL as a file database?

A better approach would be to store your information in the database and to add a varchar column in which you store the folder and file name where the file is stored on your computer. Then you can retrieve it from there without bloating your database through excessive use of blobs.
