Hi guys,

I am working on a personal project and it will deal in lots of images/thumbnails. The first thing that comes in my mind is to save the images I need to the database. But I think it will be very slow as serialization/deserialization will eat up some resources.
Would it be better if I save my images in a apache drive, and just save the location of the file/s to the database so when the need for the image comes, I can just retrieve the location and display the image?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance

Castor
