Exactly my point ... when it is needed it is good to use it,
But for an e-commerce site for example, associating graphics with products
it is too stupid to have these in databases.
Just call them like 000025558.gif and in the script <IMG
SRC=\"$usual_folder/$id.gif\"> and it's UP!
That what I try toy make people understand, some think that it is cooler
having graphics in the database, but it is actually a political war between
database maker ... "They support it? then I gotta do so too, or I'll lose
the market..."
Cheers,

This may be getting off topic, but the only way storing images in a database
DOES make sense is if you are accessing the the database via WebDAV.
