Hi Amedeo,
I'm not experienced enough, but as far as I've seen on this list and
other, I think people are using both.
I know at least one person who didn't see any performance hit using
images in database (1).
But personally I go for #2.
at least if there are any limitation on the database side (like
number of request per second), as the file are served by the Web
Server and not the database you won't get trouble.
I think there's also a memory footprint quite smaller with #2 as the
image won't be in the snapshot but only a short string.
I also think if the user of the website reload the page or a page
with the same image, I'm not sure the browser will behave the way it
should and use the one it already have in cache if it is served by
the WO application and not the Web server...
One last thing that "relaxes" me is the fact I don't have to think
"am I going to have problem with image caches" as the image isn't in
the snapshot;)
But as I said at the beginning, I'm sure people will come up with
valuable insight about storing to the database (like portability):)
So this was just my 2 cents

Hello, I have a products database...
Products contains images...
what is better...?
1) insert images directly into database as BLOB / NSData
2) upload (automatically) file in a directory and store into
database only the file reference? (I do this actually)
Best regards.
Amedeo
