Storing images directly in a database as BLOBs can severely degrade performance, making the application sluggish due to the large file sizes and storage demands.
Using BLOBs for images complicates backup processes, since larger files drastically increase the time and resources needed to backup and restore the database.
When I first started programming, I didn't understand the limitations of database storage and its implications on performance or data management.
