I'm working on a Silverlight app that would allow a user to upload a few gigs of files to a hypothetical cloud based file store, then allow the user to view some data about those files later (more functionality than a file store). Ideally I'd like to use a free, per-user store such as SkyDrive but I can't seem to find an API for that se...
Unfortunately Sun Microsystems behaving badly by removing the link to the article on how to create custom storage engine for MySQL. By any chance you have that article, or can point to another resources on the web that talks about how to create custom engine? This is 'dead' link ...
I'm trying to play with Google Web Toolkit (GWT 1.6) on Google AppEngine with Java (GAE/J) and I have encountered problem storing data files to GAE. So I have decided to use S3 to store my files but when I googled, I've found library called gwt-s3 that allows me to store File to S3 using GWT, but the problem is that it only allows storin...
Im building multi-server support for a file upload site Im running. When images are uploaded.... they are thumbnailed and stored on the main front-end server, until cron executes (every 10 mins) and moves them to storage servers, so for the first 10 mins, they will reside, and be served off the main front-end server. When a file is uplo...
We are just upgrading our ASP.Net shop implementation (from simple one) to structure that should be more flexible. I am just looking for some options how to store images related to product. (there will be two types of images, thumb of the product and then full view images of the product). It should handle at least hundred products. So f...
Hi, I'm developing a blackberry application to remotely access an external customer database. Selected employees can change customer entries via a webinterface accessible in our intranet. I don't want the blackberry to contact the database on every request, so I built in a local storage, which stores the top 50 selected customers of the...
I don't quite know what to use for terminology, so bear with me... Are there any cross-platform frameworks out there that facilitate a kind of "virtual file storage" to encapsulate adding files along with a database of metadata? I'm thinking about something along the lines of iTunes or iPhoto, where the program manages a whole bunch of ...
My specific situation Property management web site where users can upload photos and lease documents. For every apartment unit, there might be 4 photos, so there won't be an overwhelming number of photo in the system. For photos, there will be thumbnails of each. My question My #1 priority is performance. For the end user, I want...
First, I noticed there are many questions regarding this, lots marked as duplicate. I eventually came to this one. And the accepted answer for that question although partially solves my question, it doesn't answer all of it. My question is, a user uploads an image. I store the path in the database and the image file in the file system...
I'm working on a project now that will require me to enable users to store negative-dates in the database. These dates have the potential to span many thousands of years BC, and as late as 'Today.' I've worked on many projects that stored dates, but they were all relatively-recent dates, and none of them were ever negative (BC). What ty...
On a Windows desktop system settings should be saved in the AppData folder for many reasons, including write access without being admin and the possibility to have different settings for different users. But what is the recommended way for Windows Mobile (.NET CF) applications? As far as I know there is just one user, so that argument d...
In .net, does a bool[] use one bit or one byte per array item? ie, does it automatically pack the bool values? I know a single bool uses 1 byte, but maybe the CLR has a special case for bool[]... ...
Are There different methods to store binary files in SVN? if so, what are they, and how I modify the storage options? I read that there are 4 ways to store binary files in SVN: Compressed tar - import - export. Tar - import - export. import - export. Efficient check-in. Which of those are the most useful for time efficiancy? and how...

Hi ! On many forums, I need to show some log files or any text file in general (configuration, source code,...). Usually this messages are quite long and the post is hard to read if there's several big code blocks... Where can I store it on a different website such as imageshack for the pictures. I don't want to use websites such as me...
I need to store a very large number (tens of millions) of 512-bit SHA-2 hashes in a MySQL table. To save space, I'd like to store them in binary form, rather than a string a hex digits. I'm using an ORM (DBix::Class) so the specific details of the storage will be abstracted from the code, which can inflate them to any object or structure...
Hi All, when i am trying to create a table using NDB storage engine i am getting error "Got error 904 'Out of fragment records (increase MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes)' from NDB" how to change the size of this variable..i am not able to find where this variable is stored. thanks in advance. ...
What are the problems associated with storing your Data in files rather than databases? I'm thinking in terms of something like a blog engiene. I read that MoveableType used to do this. What are the pros/cons of working this way? ...
I'm trying to start using plain text files to store data on a server, rather than storing them all in a big MySQL database. The problem is that I would likely be generating thousands of folders and hundreds of thousands of files (if I ever have to scale). What are the problems with doing this? Does it get really slow? Is it about the sam...
I see VARCHAR(255) being used all the time instead of VARCHAR(256), but I also see VARCHAR(16) being used instead of VARCHAR(15). This seems inconsistent to me. If an extra byte is being used to store the VARCHAR's length, shouldn't this rule also apply to the smaller lengths like 2, 4, 8 to be 1, 3, 7, instead? Or am I totally missing ...
