I edited the answer to state DB = Database. Its standard terminology.
- You didn't answer my question on how you assumed FB/Google etc store images in the DB
- Your comment on the SO thread is wrong - its flagged because it was 'not appropriate for SO' (i.e. usage depends on need), not because it was technically weak. There are excellent responses there.
- Read up a bit more - SO is not the only place where this is discussed - the pro/cons of in db image stores. You don't really have to because I asked the question, but if you must answer on technical merits, it will help
I'm looking for objective experiences from devs who've implemented projects which involve storing many images in the apps - how do they do it, and their approach.
