Store images on database or filesystem?

what will you do with the pictures?
Search'em ?

Its absolute unnecessary to store them in the database
better store them in the filesystem and access them there.

By the way, i do it like this:
i store the filename, if i want a thumb or a mini of the picture
(which i generate when uploading) i add the name tag in front
of the filename i get from the db like for example: test.jpg

i do, thumb_ + test.jpg and i have the thumg, i add mini i get the
mini, i add nothing, i get the original
