I've read the earlier threads on whether to store images in the database or filesystem. I think I understand the pros and cons of each method, but I have a question on a specific use case.

Let's say I have a web app, and I want to display the images in a web page.

a) if the images are in the filesystem (and also under the web root), no problem. Just use <img src="filename.jpg" />

b) if the images are in the database...do I need to create a temporary file first in order to use the <img> tag? Or is there some other HTML way of doing this?
