Hello, I am developing a webapp where users need to store files (<200k). I am wondering if these should be stored in the (mysql) database, or in the file system. I am concerned about the number of files I could get in the database (possibility for 20,000+ users, so 100,000 files). On the other hand, I plan on replicating my database across multiple servers. Do I then also replicate the download of each file, or run a batch that copies them periodically? I would greatly appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with these design issues. Thank you, Andrew Timm
