Re: Using a different document store

What's the idea? What are you trying to achieve? Of course you can bind the
library with an external DB but i dont think you can break the existing
SharePoint-DB relationship. Here are some hints:

1. You can write an event handler for your document library and store the
document in your own DB.

2. If you want to store the files on the hard disk of your server, you can
do that as well with custom programming but then what's the point in using
SharePoint?

3. You can create a file share in SharePoint and use SharePoint's excellent
search mechansim to search files in your file share.

Hi,

I am trying to bind a document library to an external document store,
so i can leverage Sharepoint functionality but without actually holding
the document within the MOSS db. I am trying to acheive this without
actually uploading the document into MOSS. Has anyone any ideas how to
serve documents from an external store i.e file system.

Cheers

Toby
