Yes, but the access was via a web browser interface. I just stored the
pathnames in the database. I had postgres running on a Linux box, and the
images themseleves were on a RAID served through Novell, then converted
into PDF images and stored on another RAID served through Linux. If you
set up Samba, you could still get to the images even if they were on a
Linux box, but the web browse interface (using Perl as the development
langauge) was by far the easier to use for building an application.
