Hi list,

I'm asking myself what solution for storing pictures is the best:

* using a BYTEA column type, and having no intrinsic compression gain
   because a picture it almost every time already compressed,

* using a TEXT column type, and store a Base64(picture) in it; it should
   take benefits of intrinsic compression (?).
