Even on a raw partition, the database still has to do *something* to move the drive heads and read the data. Provide a benchmark with the raw partition, images in DB, compared on equivalent hardware with a static file system approach, by all means. I'm sure you'll prove it provides some performance gain. And it probably has almost nothing to do with any list reader's real-world scenario. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
