Uploading Images from Webpage

I am creating a site and want the users to be able to upload images from their computers either onto the server or into the database using a BLOB field. The question is, which of these is the best. The basic use of the picture (jpg or gif) would be similar to ebay or an Avatar on a forum.
Would it be better to store the picture it the database or the link?

I agree with echolalia, blobs are evil!
If you're bound to asp, and don't have access to a third party component like safileup check out this tutorial...

Using this code you can do either - save your stuff to the filesystem or store in the database.
