Re: Storing blobs in PG DB

I recently heard from Josh Berkus that at least one major CMS
application uses Postgres to store entire HTML pages (including image
files) in order to support full versioning.

As a general rule, I prefer not to store BLOBS in a DB- I'd rather
leave the BLOB in the file system and let the db save only a pointer
to it.  However, if you need to store BLOBs in a database, Postgres is
one of the better platforms for it.

Hi All!

Question is : How suitable PG for storing about 2 000 000 binary files
0,5-2,0 Mb size each ? It is not planned the big number of clients or a
plenty of updatings. Like photoalbum on local host.
