The questions is really straight forward. I have successfully retrieved photos uploaded by a user who authorized my fb app. I was thinking if i could store the url to my own database, and reference it from there instead of making a api request. The field am saving is the source
field. Is this field permanent or does it change?

Its always better to keep the id
of any facebook object(user-id, album-id, photo-id, post-id etc.). You can simply access to that object with-
http://facebook.com/<ID>
The source
also will never change but why to keep it if id will serve the purpose. On browsing to the above url facebook redirects to the source itself.
