Hi,
I was wondering about the following:
Should I store a picture directly in a MySQL table? Or just store the link
to a file on the system somewhere?
I would think that leaving the picture as an actual file and just storing
the link would be quicker. But what are the dis/advantages of storing right
in the table? I like the idea of not cluttering up my file system. Pictures
would only be about in the 20K range.
Thanks,
Chris
