I know this is the ASP forum, but my question resolves back to a problem with ASP, so I figured I'd post it here. I have a dynamic site that updates are posted to with images.

Here is the question: Would it be better to store the images in a database (sql server 2K) or in a file directory???

Thanks for any help,

I recently wrote an Imaging system that deals with over 1,000,000 images in the database. I found it much eaiser to store them in a file because they bog the database down when stored in the database. That is my experience but you may want to do something else.
