Grrr. All you lazy top-posters! ;) It seems to me that a case can
be legitimately made for both methods of handling BLOBs. On the one
hand, where speed and/or efficiency (on many different levels) are the
top priorities, it'd be good to keep the DB as trim as possible. On
the other hand, if security is the top priority, you'd better keep all
your data encrypted and in the DB. And as I wrote this, colbey
explains this well in his email of 4:06p.
It seems to me that the point is to use the correct tool for the job
at hand. Computers have many tools, so no sense in turning everything
into a proverbial nail head.

hehe, well said and sorry for the top-posting.
I can only agree, both methods have their merits! :)
