\renewcommand{\linebreak}{\HCode{<br>}}
% This is for rendering a .tex file using tex4ht, which renders the output as HTML.
% \renewcommand{\linebreak} tells LaTeX to overwrite the default command.

Storing files in a database field should never happen. If it's being considered as a solution
to a problem, find a certified database expert and ask for a second opinion.
\bigskip
To summarize PostgreSQL expert Frank Wiles on the problems with using a database as a filestore:
\begin{itemize}
\item `read/write to a DB is always slower than a filesystem'
\item `your DB backups grow to be huge and more time consuming'
\item `access to the files now requires going through your app (Django) and DB layers'

package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var p = fmt.Println
p("I don't want to type fmt.Println.")
