While storin them in the db is acceptable...I have found that the amount of
data to be stored greatly affects the system...therefore I generally do not
store the items in the tables, but provide a reference pointer to those
items out on the filesystem...

Hi!!
I'm thinking abou to store MP3 files and PDF files in BLOB fields in a a
table, Is this a best practice in MySQL?
Or should I just store a reference to a file stored some where in a file
system?
I want to store sermons and preachings, both a PDF and MP3 for reading and
listening on a web site!
Best Regards,
Miguel Guirao
