I'm going to work a small photo managment app for an LAN
site here, and
I wanted to hear some opinions.

>From what I've seen people tend to store images outside
the db and just
keep their location field to grab em.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so? That way
the httpd
gets to serve them and if so, why is that important? Django
keeps
running, its not like it spawns something new like if I was
doing so in
PHP.

This is a huge religious debate that's probably not suited
for this list.

I'd suggest reading the numerous topics available about this
across the 
net.  Usually the best threads are in database specific
lists, like 
lists.mysql.com

In those lists database admins usually jump in and speak
their mind on 
the issue, which gives you another perspective on the issues
at hand.
