Hi Luke, I have tried this in an asset management system I am currently implementing for my company, which is ment to store a lots of images (round about 300.000+). Generally it is a very bad idea, at least this is what I have found. I ignored this article
http://mysqldump.azundris.com/archives/36-Serving-Images-From-A-Database.html at first, but after some serious testing I have to admit, that everything is true what the author says. So, if you plan to store some images in your database, it might be okay, but if you plan to serve a lot of images it is not. You are better of with storing images in your filesystem and serving them from a seperate http server. Hopefully, I haven't told you something you already know and have already considered.
