What are the pro and cons of storing the images in DB as compared to storing on File system of the server? Consider a medium size internet application , with 500 concurrent users requesting for products with images.
Nitin, I would store those in the file system. If you have a web server, store them there. If not, store them on the application server.
If the users are reasonably likely to be accessing the images, you want them to link to the images. If the users could somehow search by image (by bytes or something), there would be an advantage to keeping them in the database. Another reason to keep images in a database is if they change often.
