Well I'm a newbie using blobs, so my question is how can I Use Blobs fields to storage images into a MaxDB DB, and what is better to storage a link to a file in disk or to storage the whole image into the Database
Advantages of storing files in the database:
- any locking is done by the database
- backups are always consistent (no need to coordinate filesystem backups and database backups)
Advantages of storing files in the file system:
- if your CMS is served to browsers, then serving files is alredy implemented by the webserver. When storing files in the database, you have to implement the details yourself (setting HTTP headers like Content-Size and MIME type, serving only parts)
- you could use a few tools that work only with filesystem like fulltext search or version control software
