Title
Body
I am implementing a project that deals with a significant amount of images. In your opinion what are the cons/pros of the following two approaches: I need to store thousands of items, each item as several string properties and an image. Each item as an ID (integer) MyISAM tables How would you store the images: approach 1 : store images into a directory and each image named as ID.jpg approach 2 : store images into the database as a binary BLOB Using approach 1 I can access the image directly and that's it <img src="same_directory/10.jpg" /> Using approach 2, I can still use the above HTML, but need to redirect that jpg access to a PHP script which will return the real image from the DB. In terms of performance which one do you think its faster? I am keen to approach 1.
