If they are files, just use the filesyatem, you don't need a
database.  If you need multiple indexes into these files, then
use a database, but only for the indexes that point to the
files on the filesystem.  The filesystem is almost always the
most efficient place to store files, not as blobs in a
database.

The answer about which database depends on your target
platform but you could consider gadfly.
