Обсуждение: Graphics Supported?

Is it possible to store a gif or jpg image
in a PG database, then retrieve the image
and display it on a web page?

If so, how do you create the table?


-Thanks

I believe this would be done using
the large object support.  This detailed
in the programmers's manual page 96-99.

I would also look at php3.org, although
I'm not sure if they are supporting
large objects in the database.

To propose something horribly simple and direct, perhaps it would
make more sense to actually just store the files on disk and then
simply provide the URL of the file from the database.  Otherwise you're
faced with the issue of using TWO hits (read database calls) to deliver
both the image file (one web page) and its related data (another page).

2 cents,

Take a look at the ImageViewer example that's included with the JDBC
driver (src/interfaces/jdbc/example)
