Georg,

When you say that MySQL does not scale, at what point did you see performance start to degrade? Was the degradation a function of the size of the images, size of the database, the number of images, or number of transactions? I have seen some degradation because of the application memory requirements to stream out of the database (when handling images with a filesize greater about 15 Mb), but I don't think it was because of problems with the database itself. What does Frontbase do differently?

Thanks,

David

Alex,

Based on my experience in the exact same type of project, I would strongly discourage you storing images in MySQL. If you decide to use FrontBase though, it should work fine if you use separate schemas and raw devices... or possibly without them too. MySQL just does not scale...

  The reason is that I am involved in the development of the digital
asset management system, a WO project with the MySQL as a DB.  We need
to store the high resolution images (30Mb - 100 Mb), and allow the
users to download them.
