To Store Large data in MYSQL

[nikhiltechnology]

Hello Friends,

I want to store a large amount of files, about 6000 each about 5MB in size. whats the best method to store them, either on the HD in a hierarchical way and store the address in MySQL, or to use innodb and store the files in the database as blobs

Thanks you

considering the size of each file, i'd say the first method is the one you should use.
