Post Body

I have been tasked with setting up a database (I am choosing postgresql merely because of familiarity) to store a huge amount of image data. I am recording ~8mb tiff files which are imaged from a microscope in a mosaic pattern. This will be repeated many times to create a mosaic volume. The final database could be as large as 50TB. I would like some help on best practices, advice etc to setup this up.

In the past, the general consensus was to have a filesystem metadata in a database, is this still the best practice? Can we store image data along with metadata in a database now?

Thanks.
