I have a java app that (is currently using MYSQL,
but we're converting to Postgre soon) references small (62kb) images for viewing
on the screens of the app.
Does anyone have any thoughts on database design
that they can share with me that would validate why I would want to put Images
into blobs in the database, as opposed to just using the filesystem? I
haven't seen much info on (philosophically speaking, I guess) pro's and
con's of using blobs vs. the filesystem reference to the images, so I don't have
much data to make a decision on if blobs for this purpose are a good idea, other
than the fact that I feel IMO that maintenance for them would be much easier in
the filesystem.
Thanx in advance.
