[Slashcode-development] many images in the db makes blob table >2Gig

[James M. <jm...@tr...>]

Hi all,
just a note about images in the db, something I came across tonight
but hadn't thought about.  If you have a lot of images, then the image
table will get really big.  So I just ran into my filesystem/MySQL limit, I
think, of about 2 Gig.  Not that the standard slash install will have
this problem, but it might.  So perhaps a note in the docs is in order
w/r/t the blob table, that if you have a lot of blobs, make sure the
filesystem/MySQL setup can handle it.

If anyone knows an easy fix, aside from upgrading my machine to a new
version of linux (which I am going to do anyway) I'd like to hear it.
I am pretty clueless when it comes to files this big, and when it
comes to setting up MySQL to handle big tables.  

Thanks,
James
