  Need Advice,

  Hi Everybody,

  i am desining a document management system, where by i need to upload the documents

  from the users and then when the user needs it i need to download or display it in the

  browser.

  i am using ASP.NET and MS SQL Server 2000 for this developement. this is a web based

  application.

  now, my question is which is the best method, either to store the douments in SQL Server or

  to store as files in the web server. Can some one explain me the advantages and dis

  advantages of both the methods and suggest me the best method.

  Thanks for your views.
