i want to build a system for storing documents (mostly words), it's a good idea to use MongoDB with GridFS?

i was planing to use mysql for the users and relations among the documents and only use mongo for files..

    Why use a database at all for files? – Sammaye Jan 31 '14 at 14:10
  • Store the files securely! – fuentesLC Jan 31 '14 at 14:21
  • A database doesn't mean the files are stored securely, proper encryption and passwords and isolation etc etc means it is – Sammaye Jan 31 '14 at 14:27
  • so it' better to store on directly on the FS with the proper permisions and stay away of GridFS or BLOB fields? – fuentesLC Jan 31 '14 at 15:36
  • Well it is subjective as to which but your reasoning for storing it in MongoDB is weak, I would definitely stay away from blob storage but some people have had success with MongoDB storage but I don't think your scenairo merits use of a database for this – Sammaye Jan 31 '14 at 16:01
  • It was primary for research... but i Will follow your advice... Thanks1 – fuentesLC Jan 31 '14 at 16:15
