Re: Image in postgresql 7.3

Hi,

like Berend, I also store my PDFs in text columns, but I usually use base64 encoding. AFAICS this has the big advantage
versusBLOBs that I do not need to care about backup issues. The disadvantage of course is a bigger database (encoding
inflatesabout 30%), so if you have lots and lots of pictures, you might want to use an other method. Another (small)
disadvantageis that one has to encode/decode the binary files before storing/after retreiving.
 

Regards, Frank.
