Helen has corrected me - apparently IBO does understand that a field can
be a file name and the file can contain the image. So either method
will work with the IBO image handling capabilities. However, being a
database person and having some (miserable) experience with trying to
run applications on different file systems, I find the simplicity of
putting everything in the database appealing.

It doesn't matter, especially if you're expressing the size in Kb.

Only if the actual data is requested.
