RE: [PHP-DB] Using BLOBs

2006-12-22 Thread Bastien Koert
While storin them in the db is acceptable...I have found that the amount of 
data to be stored greatly affects the system...therefore I generally do not 
store the items in the tables, but provide a reference pointer to those 
items out on the filesystem...

Hi!!

I'm thinking abou to store MP3 files and PDF files in BLOB fields in a a
table, Is this a best practice in MySQL?
Or should I just store a reference to a file stored some where in a file
system?

I want to store sermons and preachings, both a PDF and MP3 for reading and
listening on a web site!

Best Regards,

Miguel Guirao

Hello;

 I do not think this is best with any database. Simple put you are 
large chucks of data that you can not do anything with. On access them, 
they only slow down the server through put. What I prefer to do is store 
the location in the database, and let the web server or front end get it 
directly.
