They wanted to have it all in the database, so as to reduce the complexity of the administration of the application. On our current project we generate some reports (PDF files and such) and were discussing the storage with client's IT department. If that is the case, database storage is your way. Youtube doesn't have to worry much if it loses a video or two (or a thousand), but if you store medical video recordings, you may have to be able to restore all your data in a consistent fashion, to the same point in time. The most important factor is whether you need to be able to backup and recover your data reliably. For Oracle, I've posted a way to insert a blob here on JavaRanch.Īthough putting binary data into the database has some overhead, it has some benefits as well.
The most efficient way to create a BLOB might depend on your database.
