Storing Pictures in a Database
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
While some databases support it and others are even designed for it, I would strongly avoid storing pictures in databases. Your databases will bloat and require a significantly larger amount of space to do backups on a regular basis. Instead, I would suggest storing a filename reference in the database for use when you are showing the record. Instead of having to get the file from the database, you just put up a URL and the picture will show up without a lot of extra work.
