Anyone knows what about performance of that kind of solution. Right now
I'm storing all multimedia files on the disc, but I would be great if
all files could be stored in DB (automatic remove, portability etc...).
But the problem is with the size of all files - today it is about 5GB,
so I belive that this can affect for overall DB performance. Any
experiences ?

PS. My DB have 3 schemes where about 1 million different data are
stored. I thought that it will be the best to create new scheme for
storing files ? Right ? How about perfomance in this case ?
