F - File content

 
 
 
 
 
Code of field: F (for File)
 
Type of field: container for files of any format (pictures, MS-Office documents, trace files, etc).
 
Storage: The file content is stored in a BLOB (Binary Large Object) in the database.
 
 
Applicable to:
 
Any file of any format associated with a given record. Files that are too large could create problems depending on the setting of the underlying database (MySQL, MongoDB) since some size limitations may apply.
 
 
Comments:
 
F fields can only contain a single file. If one wants to link several files to a given record, FLink fields should be chosen.
