The barcode is an image that evaluates to a string when read so you could:
1) store the string in the database and generate the barcode image on the fly 2) generate the barcode image, store it on the file system and store the path in the database 3) generate the barcode image and store it in a BLOB Dave -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Allen [mailto:a.matthe...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 7:07 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: (ot) barcodes and mobile sites Hi Dave and all, Tried posting this earlier, not sure it has gone through, here I go again: Excuse the dumb question, I fully understand how the QR code and reader works, I've built a number of QR solutions, where I use it to direct users to PDFs and videos resources, activities per file are stored in the database, as you can capture url values. I've never used barcode before, how does it work as far as storing info into a database? Especially when using those physical barcode readers or even apps Many thanks, Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358385 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
