Hello all!
I am amazed how many posts I have read to store an image in SQL, and just as
many against it. So I learned how to store an image in a SQL db and retrieve
the image. A little tricky, but not too bad. But then I thought I wanted to
try the other way, by putting the file location in SQL and storing the actual
image in another directory.
I plan to have many images on my web application, up to as many as 5000.
Not to mention the other tables I will have, that will have just as many
records.
So I think I will go the old fasion route, and just put in the path in the
DB instead of the image.
Do I dare ask? What do you think is the best way to go?
Second thing is, I have found a ton of articles on how to store the image,
but can't find any that shows an example of just storing the file path. If
somebody would have an example of this, or point me in a direction, that
would be great!
Thanks for all your help!!!
