Hi All,
In one of my POC I am having requiremnt of converting a document(jpg,pdf) into base64 and storing the base64 in Database.
I am using Base64 to Database Services to store the document, but instead of base64 string it is storing Appian ID itself.
Below are the screenshots of smart service node and database design.
Any comments on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Table Structure (also I tried Varbinary, blob data type for base64)

Why do you need to store base64 in the database? Using Documents and storing the document ID instead is much better for performance and management.
I agree on your point. I am just trying to explore the smartservice.
