A search of the archive would have revealed countless references (in the
last week, even) to this topic. Here's one searchable archive:
http://207.98.221.253/Lists/
On this topic, however - perhaps someone (maybe me) will put together a page
debunking this idea before someone gets the bright idea to create a new file
system entirely with MySQL. (mysqlfs.o ??)
Store a link to the image. Yes, you can use BLOB's to store binary data, or
to store mime-quoted-printable binary data... but why? Store a link to the
image.
