I think there may be some confusion on the OP's part because many sources give out *advice* to put a filesystem path, rather than the entire actual binary object, into the database... and that's still good advice, even on RDS! It just means that path needs to be a URI or some other piece of metadata that points to a different server, rather than the RDS server.
