Two common solutions :
directly in the database in a byte field
on the disk, with the path stored in database (I personnaly like to use as name the SHA1 of the file, so I cannot have two times the same file, with the path being a/b/cdef if the SHA1 is abcdef)
Both solutions work very well. The first solution has for advantage to have only one file to backup, to enable rollback, and so on. The second may be more natural as a disk file system is made to store files.
