As a suggestion, and just in case you hadn’t thought of this,
what I do whenever I need to do something like that is put
filenames (or paths) in a table column, instead of making it a
BLOB. Or maybe I use the row ID as the filename, internally. Or
something like that. In any case, the data lives in the
filesystem (usually in a flat directory) and only the metadata is
in the database.
