designing question

[rosetavb]

hello

 

I want to design a database for a doctor. he needs the picture of his patients to be in database

before and after surgery. so there would be lots of pictures with .jpeg to deal with.

 

I wanted to know is it better to put the pictures in database or the best way is to put them on a

drive and keep the path in the Database. we can put the pictures thruogh an algorithm in directories

then when opening them , go for the path.

 

I appriciate your oppinion on this.

roseta.

I've always prefered to save only the path string in the DB, never the image.
