Subject: Extension for file management under postgres
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 08:49:59 -0800 (PST)

Does anyone know of a module for postgres that can do metadata management in 
postgres but actual storage of binary objects in filesystem ?
Not really using Postgres large object but want to just do the metadata 
management with postgres. Example, need to store file 
name/size/directory/drive/node in postgres but the actual file in a filesystem.
Also utilities that will all to do file rename (and metadata rename) within a 
single transaction. Similarly file delete or file copy as well.
Also maybe webdav or ftp extensions to do get/put from web front. (the metadata 
would be from postgres and actual object from filesystem)

This sounds like a typical exercise and don't want to reinvent if the code is 
already out there.

many thanks ! -AJ
