Yeah, do what the boss says, but I will tend agree, storing the images
the database will slow it down. There is one place that holds large
images and even small vids in the DB. IO over kill. They have two
servers to run one database.

However, we do what the boss says.
I'm with Bastien on this one, I've stored images in a database in the
past, and although I have to admit that it makes a certain amount of
sense in the fact it keeps all your data in one place, practically
it's a pain in the butt. It's faster, more efficient and better in
almost every respect to let the filesystem do what it does best and
store the files, and the database deal with data you need to organize
and sort.
