Subject: Data type for storing images?
Date: 11 Mar 2001 22:38:18 -0000
Message-ID: <20010311223818.18682.qmail@mailhost.sidereal.kz> (raw)


I would like to store some images in my Postgres database.  These will
all be thumbnails, limited to 4k or 5k.  I know that PG has an 8k row
limit, but this should be fine, because there's not much else in the
row.  Which data type could I use to store them, and is there a
performance cost for having rows that are this big?  The system will
be using PG7.1, btw.

Thanks
