Apparatus and method for annotated bulk copying files to a database

摘要

A method of copying files to a database includes the step of constructing a table of file attributes characterizing each file of a set of files stored on a computer. A specific file from the set of files is then identified. A file selected field corresponding to the specific file is then marked within the table. The specific file is then transferred to a database where it is recorded without acknowledgment. A file transfer status field for the specific file is then updated.
