Both database failure and hard disk failure can happen and there way to retrieve the objects after failure . It depends on the kind of data also, if the binary blobs are highly confidential you may want to store the details in db. You need to think about time taken to retrieve the object from hard disk as well as from DB. -- * Thanks & Regards "Talk is cheap, show me the code" -- Linus Torvalds kracekumar www.kracekumar.com * _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
