Hi all,
[Quoted] [Quoted] (Solaris 2.6/Oracle 8172 -distributed database-)
My Pb is about BLOB, and here is a sample of what I want to do : Suppose we have an application written in java : name_of_author, Title_of_the_book, the_book (as BLOB)
And a client (may be every where in the web) can read a book online when he knows the title
My question : What is the best practice for performance. store the file (the_book) into the database or store it in a file system ?

I think that the filesystem is the best idea : reasons :
1) Performance based OS (Unix) is better than access the file throw SQL..., 2) managing filesystem is easier than managing a database

can anybody give me some help ?
(if possible improve the two solutions with sample to implement it)
Thanks
