It is much simpler then that. My data includes file references.
One table has the filename with a path placeholder and another table
contains the windows and linux versions of the full path. This is for an
intranet and we _always_ have the same drive letters (windows) and mount
paths (linux) for every client. When the client requests data that
includes a file reference, I want to send the relevant path.
