Thanks for the replies, and suggestion from Ognjen, Ben Chobot, John R Pierce, Tomás, and Karsten... I checked the links, and I decided, that I cannot decide :-) because I don't know, how large could be the infrastructure for this. If I store the images, and scanned docus in the database, a radically larger enviroment will be needed, than if I store only the link. My boss will decide, and I will implement anything, that he wants, I just wanted to collect some experience, that you have, and that you have provided form me, and many thanks for it :-)
