what is the current consensus on storing binary files in MySQL?
I need to keep track of small video clips ~ 3-5MB. I can either stick them on the drive in a folder, and keep track of the location on the drive and all extra info in the database. Or I can stick the binary in the database along with everything else.
There could potentionally be 500+ of these files.
