actionsketch Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 tables are for storing text. Not images. You can store links to images, but not the images them selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reven Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 vBulletin manages to store images and many other files via SQL. I think there are PHP functions which build and unbuild image files into their binary code for database storage. It gives faster access times compared to webspace-based images.

actionsketch Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 whoa, really? That's pretty cool... I woulda thought that browsers need an absolute path for all images that it displays.EDIT:indeed you can, but it would hurt the server processing time and is unnecessary. http://news.postnuke.com/index.php?name=Ne...3&theme=Printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakash Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I mean, I want to maintain a database for my friends. I want to store their details along with their photos. How is it possible to do that? I want to store the photos and retrieve them through some fornt-end application like VB, VB.NET, JSP. Can anybody help me?

MadPotato Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I cant see why you cant just store the image url, like "ww.anysite.com/images/icon.gif"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Of course you can store images (sounds, flash animation,...) into an Access or an SQL database, but it's really huge and it could be dangerous for the stability of your database. If you still want to do it, you have to options:- insert your images manually in a OLE OBJECT field of your database.- insert them dynamicly in your data base using some inserts or updates statments and an asp or a php function to first decode your image in their binary code.But, as it was mentionned before, the best way would be to store the path of your images in your database and to put your images on your server. That would be my choice.Happy programing Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
