Is there a module for document posting?

It is for an intranet. We have lots of templates nd other fiels that I want to list based on menu selections.
The files (or content) should be in the database (not a system directory list).
Does anyone know if there is something out there?

DiskNode and File Browser
DiskNode (http://drupal.org/node/43600) and maybe even File Browser (http://drupal.org/project/filebrowser) sound like what you want as far as functionality goes, but they use a filesystem, not a database. Is the database you are using a standard relational database or some other type?

We're using flexinode. I created a flexinode type 'attached' and set the the the node theme to open the attached document if one was present.
It's not perfect -
* if there is more than one attached file, it only opens the first one
* search doesn't index the document (yet)
But flexinode would let you use all kinds of metadata. I'm not sure what the deal is with the flexinode and CCK modules and whether this will last.
<?php
foreach ($files as $file)
{
header("Content-size: $file->filesize");
header("Content-type: $file->filemime");
readfile("/my dir/" . base_path() . $file->filepath);
exit;
}
?>

I am noticing that my solution doesn't work with "taxonomy views", where Drupal tries to display all nodes from a taxonomy term. Sending headers, a document and exiting breaks the view.
I use taxonomy mostly for theming public vs. intranet content, but having recently discovered views, I'm adding on, so I'll work on this.
I think I can escape the headers if there's a $view happening and send a teaser/description instead.

I search something like that but never found this kind of module.
