File or Reference

[Slobey]

Hi,

I was hoping to get some feedback on inserting a picture vs just a reference.

I know that when inserting the picture, it seems less fragile. But is there a performance benefit to just adding a reference?

I believe Fenton went into some of the adv /disadv of both embedding and referencing on a post yesterday.

A large database with lots of images embedded will slow the database down.
