Picture Databases

Hi Guys, I am really struggling, i am trying to save images to a database to display them on a web site, The problem being i don't have a CLUE. I have searched the web over and over and can't find a simple how to. Can any body help. I need to know how to store images in a database (what do you save them as?) How to retrieve them from the database, and display them on a page. Any examples would be great. Cheers Mav

depends on the database server you're using. for instance, interbase and it's open source derivative, firebird, have a "blob" type [Binary Large OBject] which can save almost anything. mysql and postgresql have that too. ms sql server has an "image" type. exactly how you go about storing them and retrieving them is dependant on the database server. that's where you need to read up a bit... hth! -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories e-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ blog: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ linux user: #333298
