But neither answer answers the question of whether or not it is better to store them as files on the hard drive... I have always thought is was better not to use blobs in general, even thought that means more programming to keep the database and files system in sync, but I don't really have any hard data to confirm my assumption. Perhaps Googleing for a general answer (regardless of python or TurboGears) might yield some results. I hope any result wil be posted here for the benefit of all. :-) Hope this helps, Krys --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
