btw, the ONLY reason i can think of it being beneficial to hold images in a db would be in a multiple server setup, and even then it's not a huge benefit, only a means of getting lal your data from one place.
the very BEST tried and true method is to save all your images in the file structure and index those images in the database.
Even in a multiple server setup, you can access those images by pointing to the "image server"
An actual con of storing all that binary information in your db is that the db size will get abnormally large muc hquicker and can potentially slow your queries site wide. Accessing the file system is almost always faster.
