I know it is not a good thing to save files in a relational databas. But how about in a objectdatabase? Is it still a bad idea or are they more adapted for this kind of operations?

I've had some experience storing the images in a special blob field in db4o. It works reasonably well, looking at the db4o forums you could learn more about experiences. Some links:

The blobs are stored in external files outside of the db4o yap file.

  • Ok, great. I guess that it doesn't matter if it is an image or pdf or...? – Fred Jun 08 '09 at 09:36
  • It depends on how you want to show it, if you'd like to have your image be a property of your entity and you want to use winforms and use databinding, you could be in for a hard road (all though maybe that has changed). But if you just want the files out for a website, it won't matter what you put into it. – Davy Landman Jun 08 '09 at 09:52
