rockinaway Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Is it better to store uploaded images as 'content' in the database? (like here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f49/tutorial-upload-files-to-database-176804.html).. Or just as a regular file which is referenced in the database..?

the182guy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It's usually better to store the filename/path rather than the entire binary data, unless there is any special reason to do it that way.

requinix Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The only "special reason" I know of to store images in the database is when you're using replication and multiple web/database servers. With that said, IMO there are more advantages to storing them as files.
