Pablo, I disagree with you. I use 2 separate tables to store binary data. First table (documents) is main and used for search. Second table is binary data only related with documents table by ID. And space such data storing takes is not more than space that stored files takes on disk - no difference.

You may store binary data in VFP using memo fields. There are some tricks with binary data storing on SQL server using VFP. Search threads here for more information, this was already discussed during last 2 weeks.
