I've seen several answers to that post but none of them have asked the question : what will you do with the images ?
If the images are to be queried a lot then do not store them in the database. Keep them on the OS. In a prevoius life, we've benchmarked our site (www.houra.fr) with images in and out of Oracle. Out wins in term fo performance. We have developed a small system so the managers can entered text for each images. This time, the images were in Oracle in a blob datatype.
