Not really, as I have found this to be counter-productive to system
resources.  Storing actual binary data in a SQL database has been, at
least as I was told, a bad idea.  This increases the size of the database
dramatically (disk space used will be equvalent to something that is
stored on the file system tho), and is a major resource hog when trying to
download data off a sql database through a POP3 or IMAP solution. 
Exchange Server does this already, and look what kind of crappy solution
it somewhat is.

Tho I'm sure there is a way...
