[Tutor] File storage vs DB storage.

[OkaMthembo]

Hello all,

Im a newbie and am currently going through the Python Tutorial for the
second time. At work, i use C#, but what a delight Python is!

Ok, to get to the point: when building a web app that should store an
retrieve photos, what would be more efficient between the app storing the
files on a local hard disk, or saving blobs/ binary data to a database?
Someone toldme that database storage should be avoided as it would cause a
botleneck, whereas i dont want to imagine the nightmare of managing tons of
files sitting in a folder. I use Windows XP.


Cheers,
