When is using MySQL BLOB recommended?

which concludes

If you on occasion need to retrieve an
image and it has to be available on
several different web servers. But I
think that’s pretty much it.

  • If it doesn’t have to be available on
    several servers, it’s always better to
    put them in the file system.
  • If it has
    to be available on several servers and
    there’s actually some kind of load in
    the system, you’ll need some kind of
    distributed storage.
