title: Can I store a Word document in a PostgreSQL database?
body: <p>We maintain our data in a PostgreSQL database, and keep the relevant documentation in the form of Word (TM) files.</p>
  <p>Now a peculiar sentence in the description of the project states that the documentation should be stored 'together with the data, in the data base.'</p>
  <p>My question: Can I store a Word document in a PostgreSQL database?</p>
  <p>It's okay if I have to zip it first, maybe even convert to .pdf, or similar tricks. But it should of cause be possible to retrieve the data out again, and re-create the document we put in.</p>
