It is pretty much a consensus that storing images in a database is
an unnecessary overhead, not because the database can't handle BLOBs
(although the relational aspect of searching and filtering is pretty
much lost with BLOB fields) but that a browser must issue a new
request each time you want to dish out an image because there is no
way for the browser to make a hard cache link.  You should store
only meta data and a file reference in the database, perhaps even
only a relative file reference in case your data storage location
changes.

Real programmers just hate to get up in the morning, and 
contrary to Ordinary People, they're in better shape as 
it gets closer to nighttime.
