Since the original question was motivated by the limited amount of
internal device storage....
... using a SQLite database wouldn't help, since databases are stored in
internal memory, and although it's possible to put databases on the
memory card, it seems failure-prone.
So, using regular image files on the memory card / "external storage",
perhaps indexed as necessary in a database, is what I'd recommend.

Knutsford,
I'm not sure, but I think you should store it directly on SD and save
the references to these files.
Even on larger databases in Oracle and SQL Server people still use
this pratice to not overload the database.
Only make sure you're checking the file existence before using it. On
SD the file can be deleted out of your application.

Guilherme

Depends on the size of your images and how you're using them.
Back it up, tell us what the problem you're trying to solve is
and why you're looking at your current approach and then people
can chip in.
I was just a general question about what do people do if they want
to write an App that needs lot of images or some other data as you
only have limited capacity on a phone. How much would you think
would be reasonable to store in an sqlite database before it would
cause a problem? I don't have anything particular in mind
