How to Store large files in MySQL (Eg. 12MB)

[evin666]

What are the configuration changes I have to do for storing large files in the mysql databases.

I want to store large files of size 12MB to 20MB.

I am using MySQL 4.0.18 in SuSeLinux 8.2.

I tried to do changes in /etc/my.cnf file such as to increase max_allowed_packet size to 21MB but I don't find that file.

I think the solution will lie in the same direction and discussed in

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=842760&SPID=436&page=2

where they are talking about multimedia files

Store the files outside he database on the server and then simply store the Server/path/file name of the file inside the database.
