[thelist] image database

[Ed]

Is there any system that stores images as BLOBS in the data store rather
than as references to files on the local file directory?

Seems like if you could effectively store images in data store, it would
save some headaches if you ever move the app to another location, domain.

I keep hearing that there are big performance penalties when you attempt
this.

Thanks
