Re: Images in Database

I think unless the DB provides some image-searching capabilities, it's better to store them as paths to save the space. A lot of storage will be wasted otherwise. Isn't that so?

Hi,

Possible, and this is called BLOB data type. Binary large object.

Some people use it with the possible cost in db size, the images as data in 
the db. 

Some prefer to store images as paths ie. text instead.

Hi all,

Is it possible to have an image object in a database, like a gif, bmp,
jpeg, no matter which format?

How? Couldn't find its datatype on the docs.

Cheers,
