Dear all, I am intending to store the files inside the postgres DB using the type text (all the files will be pre-encode into base64. The reason for not using the type bytea as I encountered some undesired format(the original file alignment can't be preserved) while extracting the content and display iit using php).
Hmm - not sure what you mean here. You should just get back whatever you store.
Will it be a bad idea for storing the files in DB? the file size is about 20 ~ 40 KB. 3K files need to be stored per day. Is there any impact on the DB performance?
This shouldn't be any different from storing a similar number of text records.
