MySQL question

BizzyC · 2005-02-08 15:11:30

Hi, I need my table to reference or point to a file online. Is there a MySQL variable for doing this or should I just save the url of the file in this field? Thanks

There doesn't seem to be any data type specifically for pointing at file handles. Best to store the URI in a varchar field.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, just wasn't sure if there was a specific data type I should use instead.

Thanks.
