How to store an uploaded file in the database (Binary Data Type) rather than on the disk?
0
Hello, I have some files (they could be .doc, .pdf, etc.) that potentially contain sensitive information. In order to avoid compromise of the contents of these files, I want to upload and store them in the database rather than on the Mendix Server's hard disk. What would be the approach? I could not find any tutorial on this front. Thanks, Shrinivas

The way Mendix does this is with disk storage.
All widgets and handling is based on disk storage.
There is something as a binary field. With some effort (read Java) you can store documents in that, but with the user interface: you are on you own.
You can protect the server as well as the database.
