Starting to build a new schema, and one of the items is image storage
In the past I have always used filesystem storage.

Was wondering if I could get a conversation started on the pros/cons
of database storage verse filesystem

Bad idea usually in my experience to store it in the DB. This requires the extra steps to transport it over the wire in a mechanism that really wasn't designed for this. I've always had far better performance doing filesystem, or even proxied HTTP requests.


Thanks!
