I have always read that storing images/binary data in the db is bad - I always believed it, but is it really bad?
Did it maybe get a bad reputation because it is a complicated subject? Was it true for Access and pre MS SQL 2000 only?
Has anyone done any benchmarking to see how much slower it is to retrieve the image from the db instead of the filesystem?
Are there any other disadvantages in storing it in the db?
- Slower than the filesystem ?
What are the advantages?
- Full-text searches on the documents
- Central repository
- More secure
- etc.
