Both..the database will run flat out trying to serv either case...you
will need a reasonably fast pc/db to do either (well)!
The "stress" on the database is due to it's field size. The Images
will need to be stored in a blob field or equivelant and that takes up
a substantial amount of space in the database which may reduce search
times etc. If your database is properly indexed and you dont have
thousands of images in the db then this shouldn't really cause a
problem.
I've used both methods in the past (db & file) and I have to say that
I prefer doing things with the file system...it make for easier
maintenance!
