hows about an option to store files..as files. instead of as raw data in the database.

its been the opinion of server admins who i've asked that mysql databases arent meant to be used like that, and i'd much rather store the file in a directory.

This has been discussed over and over and over and over again.

It will not be added at this time but may be an option in the future.

As an Oracle Database developer, I have learned that Server Admins hardly ever know what they are talking about when it comes to Database management. They are great at working on the OS but don't know anything about managing a database. I even had one tell me once that performance would increase if we kept all 800+ tables in one table space file instead of the 53 they are in now.

sorry to bring it up again then. i trust your judgement, but at the same time i dont want to piss off my server admins, so i guess i'll be doing it myself :D
