Hi Marco!

I had a similar problem and was advised that the native filesystem is faster than doing lookups and some sort of rendering. So storing the link in the db will do it, and then just have the images at the pointed-to location.

Cheers!

Subject: Image Storage -- Better to store them on the Filesystem or in the MySQL DB


Hey,

we´ve large amount of Images ( nearly 2 GB ).
And they will increase, cause or Editors will submit several articles a day where they´re allowed to upload
some new pics.
So, whats the better solution ? To store them in the filesystem ( with only the path in the db )
or to store them as BLOB´s in the DB.
When we decide to store them in the DB, we´ve thought about splitting larger Images ( > 64 K ) into several pieces into the db. So, we´ve a simulated "streaming". I´ve seen it at http://php.dreamwerx.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6.

So, any recommendation is very welcome.I would really appreciate any of them.

Cheers

Marco
