we are running zope 2.3.n with mysql 2.23.n (where n is i'm not sure the exact port). there is some sort of practical limit on the size of a file that mysql can insert (it's somewhere around 16MB), although a largeblob data type should be able to hold over a gig.
The advice usually is to *not* store images in the database, which then voids the rest of your question. Store the images in the file system and store only a link to them (and any meta-data) in the DB. Searching the MySQL archives, you will certainly find repeated discussions of this. -- Dennis Nichols nichols@tradingconnections.com
