An advice

Somebody told me that if i use the data type "bytea" for my images 
in postgresql it could be very heavy in the web, does mod_perl
have a good solution for that? 

Thanks

If what you mean is that you plan to serve images out of your database,
then I would agree that it will be slow.  You can make it faster by
using mod_perl, but it will still be much slower than simply serving
them from the file system.  If you really have to do this, you should
look at some kind of caching approach, maybe with a proxy server.
