Re: Best Strategy for Large Number of Images

I would recommend storing a link to the file rather than the file itself.
Other than that, use BLOBS. I would probably recommend not storing any
binary objects in a database for a variety of reasons but if you have to
then bytea will work, assuming they are smaller than 2gb.

Thanks,
