Experiences with BLOB + PostgreSQL

Hello,

I'd like to ask you about some experience in managing huge databases which
store mostly binary files. We're developing a system which is likely to
grow up to terabytes in some years and I'd like to hear something from
people who really administrate these kinds of databases.

Please tell us the size of you database and the main problems you
encountered managing it. It will certainly be very helpful, specially for
me.

Thank you all!

Juliano

Do you mean BYTEA or large objects? Both have pros and cons.

I do not really administrate this kind of database, but I see one
serious problem - a major version upgrade would be very hard.

A filesystem storage with metadata stored in a database would be much
better.
