Hi everyone -

I'm looking for some information based on your experiences.  We have an application that has large objects to store.  They are wondering which way would be better - to store them as BLOBs within the database, or as bfiles outside the database.  My instincts tell me BLOBs would be better, but I have no actual facts to base this on.

Does anyone have any information or know of any documentation I could review that might help define the differences - re. coding programs to access the objects, performance, administration, etc.?

 

 
The following link (from the Oracle docs) compares BLOB/BFILE security,features,performance,manageability and storage considerations:

but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. ..."
