Also something about storing files in a database just does not seem very performance centric? I was wondering if we can discuss this sometime? BTW, we can even do a phone call. Let me know. sachin.modak@gmail.com Hi Akash,

I was reading through this blog and I was wondering if you considered having a flat file/control file design to keep track of files? Also something about storing files in a database just does not seem very performance centric? I was wondering if we can discuss this sometime? BTW, we can even do a phone call. Let me know.

As far as I know its raw file access within SQL Context, but it is not recommended over Blob. Yes if your files are big, and they are of less financial value, like all crap uploaded to youtube, for such data you can use filestream. But if you create a document management service, where your document (files) are of bigger financial value, then you should not use filestream.

Does it have a better performance that your solution?

For up to date stats of flash, silverlight and java user base there's <a href="http://riastats.com" rel="nofollow">http://riastats.com</a>. Currently, Silverlight is installed in only 30% of browsers, while Java is present in 70%, and Flash has over 95% market share. I've made a simple, more "hands on" comparison of some ria technologies for who's interested. Flash, Flex, Actionscript 3 alone, Silverlight using C#, JavaFX, Java and AJAX are covered.

It's much more portable, atomic, relational, transactional, etc, etc. so thanks. BTW, This area of the page (Leave a Reply) renders ok in IE (v7) but in Firefox the captcha input is over the email label! N.B. This is my 4th attempt at getting the captcha right...

My post doesnt focus on which solution, MS or Linux to go for, it says about whether file system or database and I am not against anyone storing it in file system or not. 2. File system are not transactional, they are not ACID compliant. 3. People can still use mysql, we are not against anyone, we are talking here about locking and cpu overhead and disc life cycle and durability. 1.

Two years ago, I built a web based document management systems for an university. The system had user access permissions and document version tracking, running on a LAMP stack. While the permission and tracking part was shouldered by the database, all the files were stored on a separate Linux server with a scheduler automatically backing up everything in 2 hour intervals. To date, the number of documents have been steadily growing and while it hasn't hit the 1 million marker, it certainly has passed the half-million point in the last two years.
