Storing large file of 100 MB in Mongodb

Question

I want to store Large file of 100MB to 1GB in MongoDB just like BLOB object and later on can easier retrieve it. The programming language that i am using is PHP Please guide me

Answer 1

The maximum size of a document in MongoDB 1.8 and above is 16Mb.

Previously it was 4Mb. GridFS enables one to seamlessly spread a single file across many documents. If you inspect the actual documents in MongoDB you will notice many separate documents, but through GridFS they will seamlessly appear as a single file.

Does that answer the question?
