Side note - it is usually considered highly inefficient to store mp3s
etc in a database. You already have an excellent database for doing
so - the filesystem. Store the path to the image etc in the database
instead. Reads out of the filesystem may even be faster than the
database (but I'm not sure, I never benchmarked that).
