Why?
There is probably something i completely misunderstand, but storing them as blobs will make easily used text data much more difficult to use. . . |

even though we store them as BLOB in db2 but if an open system application gets it out then it can read it as per format. i.e if the blob is actually a pdf then the pdf formatting doesn't change. a pdf viewer app in open system can open it as a pdf document !  |
