storing large blob in LDAP

[Derek Zhou <derek@shannon-data.com>]

Hi,

Is is possible to store large blob outside the main database, and only keep 
file names in the LDAP database? The blobs I want to stored are not as often 
used as other attributes and not indexed, so it seems to me that bloating up 
the main database is not economical in terms of fast disk space and overall 
database efficiency. Then I suppose I need a middle ware or something to combine 
the data from file system and data from LDAP server. Has anyone try that 
before? Or I should just store the blobs inside, and live with the bloated 
database? 

Thanks a lot

Derek
