That doesn't make any difference.. It becomes two database tables:
create table downloadfile (fileid serial primary key, filename text);
create table downloadfile_categories (fileid int references downloadfile
(fileid), categoryid int references categories (categoryid));
then a file can be available for multiple categories and so on.
If you really want to store binary data in the database, start here:
