hello all! i have a question regarding the storage of data. The doubt is... Should the data (mostly binary files) be stored in the database as a field or a link(a path) to the data be stored.
i have read some of the pros and cons on both the issues and am confused. what is the practice usually and what are you guys doing in this matter? please suggest and in case you have good references to look into i would be eager to read them too. thanks venu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
