Justin,
We store over 8 million CLOB documents in our 8.1.6 DB under Win2k. All are
indexed using interMedia Text. I haven't done a direct comparison of BFile
storage with that many documents, so I can't comment on all the pros and
cons. However, CLOBs perform well for us with the only con I can think of
being the much larger amount of redo and rollback generated for inserts and
deletes vs what I imagine would be almost none for external BFiles.

Dear All,
I am presently debating about if I wish to store 2 million rich multimedia
data files as LOB's in the database or as Bfile references in the Database.
I think I should use LOB's?
Do must people use Bfile references or LOB's? What are the disadvantages of
LOB's?
Cheers,
Justin
