I'd vote for interMedia.  interMedia image is designed specifically to 
store images in the database.  It may be an extra cost in 8.1.6, but IMHO 
it's well worth it.

At a very simplistic level:

Lots of small things:  databases are very good
Not many larger things: file systems are very good

In your case, then I'd be looking at storing the
images in the database

Re: Best way to store images in DB ?

2002-11-27 Thread Stephane Paquette
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.

Re: Best way to store images in DB ?

2002-11-26 Thread Arup Nanda
UTL_FILE_DIR is for text files only using utl_file package;  not useful for 
pictures.

For pictures you have two choices

(1) Use BLOB fields where the picture can be stored in the database. This 
adds to security and reliability. However, it generates too much redo (and 
archvive).

(2) Use BFILE, where the actual file is stored on the file system and 
pointer to it is stored in the database. However security is definitely an 
issue. And how do you plan to back it up?

There are other ways like using WebDAV and iFS, but I have no experience in 
using them.
