I'm working with BLOBs in mySQL and Visual Basic... i read that storing images in the database has worst performance than the filesystem, but anyway I'm planning to store them in MediumBlobs. My specific problem is that I don't know if I'm risking too much the database, perhaps the chance it will get corrupt is likely, or perhaps it almost never happens.
With a good backup plan... no problem ? (Another question... should I zip and copy the database files, or better I do a mysqldump ?... which is better as backup ?) I'm working in Windows 2000, and I will use the BLOBs alone in their tables with and id, not with the other string or numeric data. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
