FWIW (which given you're concerned about scaling mightn't be all that much), it's fairly straightforward to stash small to middling sized* binary stuff naively to a database rather than fs without even writing a full custom file storage backend: just base64 encode it to text (using a postgres bytea would be preferable, but BinaryField or whatever isn't in Django yet, so my get_internal_type returns "TextField"). e.g. (...not efficient (watch it slurp the whole thing into memory), some might say pretty dumb): http://python.pastebin.com/d1c577e71 * postgres text and bytea go up to 1GB IIRC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
