Datalink fields look very interesting


Not sure those would work for you. Part of the advantage of a Datalink
is that is also prevents the deletion of the file in the file system if
it's referred to by a row in the database (IIRC). However, I don't see
how they could enforce that when the file is on another platform. I'd be
surprised if datalink type supported files that weren't in the IFS.
