vb.net - Is storing Image File in database good in desktop application running in network? -
I recently came across a problem for image file storage in the network.
I have developed a desktop application. It runs in the network , its central database system, the user logs in to the network from their computer and do their work.
So far the database operations are not working properly. Users share data from the same database server.
Now I am being asked to save the image of the [operator] I am being confused whether to save it as another data in the database or store it in a different file server.
Do I know what better images to be stored in the database or in the file server?
Edit: The main purpose is to store the photo and signature of the account holder and later show it during the transaction so that Taylor can verify the person and the signature is correct or No?
Since it is a desktop application, it is slightly different.
It is actually about how much data we are talking about here. If you have only 100 or so users, and this is only a profile picture, then I will store it in DB for some practical reasons:
-
Any management or worry There is no need to give a separate file archive
-
You do not need to grant shared folders access to each user
-
No permission Problems
-
-
Something to mess in your image store
-
This will be included in your standard DB backup
-
This will be well connected to your data (any Original vs relative path issues)
Of course, if you are going to have to store images for thousands of users, I would go with file system storage.
