<br>anybody working on it?</blockquote><div><br><br>Depends what you are after<br><br>The core fileapi doesn't care. All it wants to know is where to put and manipulate your file. Actually it doesn't touch the database at all.

Depends on your needs. There were a lot of debates what is the right way to do it, but it seems there isn't a single solution to satisfy all your needs.
