The real design problem is that I'm new to this. However, ... I'm putting together my own "knowledgebase" using MySQL and built from various sources including books and list groups of similar form to this one. It's basically an expanded bibliography.
Different form would have different data elements. A book reference would include normal bibliography items plus the actual blurb from the text. My question relates to source that may be in the form of a file (text, pdf, etc) and also e-mails. For character based files I could just copy them into a blob, but I was wondering how large those could be. Instead of copying the text could you include a link to the file? What's the best way to handle this?
