I want to build a database driven "Photo Gallery" on my site and I would like a list of
the PROS and CONS of storing images as blob fields in MySQL, as opposed to storing a URL for the
image
Of particular interest are loading speed, resource usage, ease of coding for output pages, ease of
image resizing [hopefully on the fly] to produce thumbnails.
Your thoughts, suggestions, and opinions, would be greatly appreciated.
