Hi: I'm trying to create an image database of about 130,000 records. Right now I have only the filenames in a CHAR Field (the records are of fixed size). I read those images a lot. Is it better to leave it this way or to move all the image data to a blob fields?
I already tried to use the blob field but it was up to 100 times slower. Is there a way I can optimize this? I'm using mysql-max 3.23.47 on Windows XP with Athlon XP 1800+, 512 RAM and 60Gb 5400 revs/s IDE Hard Disk Gustavo Lara --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
