PDF file storage

[mergle]

I've read several previous threads regarding this...but could not find an answer:

Is it possible to store a PDF file in a table?

I know that I can store a hyperlink with the path to a PDF file located elsewhere, but I would rather store the file in the database itself.

If it can be done, how do you do it? Are threre drawbacks?

Thank you.

I think you can using an OLE Object data type.
But PDF's can be rather large, and can hinder the performance of your DB after awhile.
