Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Re: Re: RE: image storage confusion ?? --> UUDECODE
Thanx Chao.
Still under confusion , whether to store 20,000,000 images of 5k
each either in
----- oracle 8.1.6 on win2k ( BLOB or BFILE ) --------
OR
--------- just on plain linux file system -------------
OR
which will be better ?
how do people usually handle data of such volume ?
plz let me know how it is done normally.
TIA.
Jp.
