Actually the application that I am writing storing as a BLOB is better
than writing anything to the file system. The application I am writing
is for canine rescue to be able to describe a dog up for adoption and
upload an image file with the dog's picture for prospective adopters to
be able to view.
I'm not crazy about the implications of having a CGI script write an
uploaded image file to the file systems. System hacks have been done
that way. Better to write it to a RDBMS table where it is less likly to
do any harm.
