Hi, Rich... No responses, huh? Too bad... I, too, am interested in the differences between storing files on a hard drive and referencing them in the db vs storing files as BLOBs. I've never used a BLOB, but would like to know if there are many/any benefits. Ultimately, it all gets stored on a hard disk, and it would seem that BLOB storage might be more trouble with corruption in the translation.
I guess I just need to Google and see what info I can find. @ All: Is there anyone using BLOB storage for images or other files?
