I am dealing with an issue that I'm trying to think of a clever workaround for. The network drives that I have for deployment are painfully slow and when I put EXE files on them, it takes forever to load. That being said, I use the same network directory for handling "attachments" in various parts of my tool. I crypt the files and store the files extension as well as the crypted password in a database and put the crypted files into a subdirectory. I'm not going to include my code here because really what I'm trying to figure out is if there is a way to deconstruct any file (mainly pdfs, msg files, and word docs) and store it as a string in my database or something of that nature. Sometimes the files are hundreds of MB and I don't know if I can even store something that big in a DB (I know you can with BULK statements, but that needs a path relative to the server which I cannot do). I want to get rid of the network directory dependency to improve performance.
