Ok I'm on to the part of the project where now I need to work on allowing users to upload their photos. I have like a couple of options to work on but can't decide which would be easier to code / and less intensive. Like I could add to the tables i.e. users, company tables an extra Blob field and treat each picture as part of the tuple in question. However theres just one little downfall is that upon getting backups wouldn't this result in a number of really large tables? The other option is to make an image repository i.e. one table containing the images and the detaisl on which element this image is for. In this way I have just one large table with the images. However theres an issue in mind with respect to this and that is like all elements with pictures have just one photo attached to them.. [I guess]... Oooor theres the other option of just maintaining a folder and dumping all my images there.. but this seems to dirty or too simple that it scares me.. any ideas guys on this?
