We are cutrrently saving the files as blob to the tables image cell.

we see the database size growing tremendously.

If we save the uploaded file as a file to the server, will that be efficient, because my question is if the filesize is 50 KB and if i convert it to blob and save to dB will it grow 50KB or more after conversion of file to Blob.

because my application is a document management application so users upload all the document s to the webserver via net.

currently storing as blob under a table.

please share any helpful info. to manage it in a better way.

Thank you very much for the information.

Hi

The standard thinking on this is files on file system, data in a database. The address of the file is data so just store that. Some differ on this but this is my preference.

-1 depending on whether the content of the file needs to be subject to the same security model and transactional constraints as the rest of the data.

Does that make your sum contribution 0?
