recommendations on maximum practical size of attachments.

[timjhbb]

Hi

I am of the opinion that storing huge attachments in MariaDB is not a good idea.

I am referring to video/large logs venturing into the the realms of > 100MB and well beyond.

My personal experience suggests around 25MB is a workable upper limit. Unfortunately I have to convince others that going well beyond this is not a good idea.

Is there any canonical references around such configuration, or best practices ?

Thanks

Sorry, should have clarified, I am referring to emailed attachments, as well as authored through the UI, when creating/amending Tickets.

Hello, AFAIK there is no good practice we're recommending in term of performances (the main concern is about the space it takes, but that's not your point).
