There's an option to have images saved in a folder.

Would it be worthwhile implementing thumbnail view which references the image?
Similar to how xbmc or movie collector work. - keeps the database small and fast and larger images only referenced when user clicks on them / exports them etc or ability to have images external to database - preferences/folders/image folders

Why do people want images this big anyway?

There are size settings for the imdb image script...just change the x value to something like 200 or 300.  This is just the first of what could be over 70 scripts (I have 75+ sites in my list at the moment...might have to drop some).  Let's see 54,000 * 100,000 ... 10GB sounds like a deal  :D

There's already the option to save images outside or inside the database. For those collecting a lot of large images, saving them outside the database may be a better choice. But I think that decision is better based on whether or not there's a need for other applications to access the images. For example, some may wish to collect and edit images.

Otherwise, I see no reason why there should be any performance issues due to the size of the database. It is, after all, a database. I suppose Firebird has more "overhead" than the file system, but I don't know why it should make any significant difference. Do you?

Don't know what i don't know :)

Maybe we can do performance tests based on:

Person with the biggest one wins ;)

or we could compare hardware and database size.
then have movie lookup races - That sounds like fun
