grails file upload

Hey. I need to开发者_如何学运维 upload some files (images/pdf/pp) to my SQLS Database and thereafter, download it again. I'm not sure what is the best solution - store it as bytes, or store it as file (not sure if possible). I need later to databind multiple domain classes together with that file upload.

Any help would be very much apreciated, JM

saving files in the file system or in the DB is a general question which is asked here several times.

check this: Store images(jpg,gif,png) in filesystem or DB?

I recommend to save the files in the file system and just save the path in the DB. (if you want to work with google app-engine though you have to save the file as byte array in the DB as saving files in the file system is not possible with google app-engine)
