for example something like the following :
Table 9-25. Date/Time Operators
| Operator | Example | Result |
|---|
| + | date '2001-09-28' + integer '7' | date '2001-10-05' |
| + | date '2001-09-28' + interval '1 hour' | timestamp '2001-09-28 01:00:00' |
| + | date '2001-09-28' + time '03:00' | timestamp '2001-09-28 03:00:00' |
| + | interval '1 day' + interval '1 hour' | interval '1 day 01:00:00' |
| + | timestamp '2001-09-28 01:00' + interval '23 hours' | timestamp '2001-09-29 00:00:00' |
| + | time '01:00' + interval '3 hours' | time '04:00:00' |
| - | - interval '23 hours' | interval '-23:00:00' |
| - | date '2001-10-01' - date '2001-09-28' | integer '3' |
| - | date '2001-10-01' - integer '7' | date '2001-09-24' |
| - | date '2001-09-28' - interval '1 hour' | timestamp '2001-09-27 23:00:00' |
| - | time '05:00' - time '03:00' | interval '02:00:00' |

is it possible? or is better to use an atached file and store it ? and what should be the data type to store a file that can be xls, doc, pdf for example.
#avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;
