Piece of cake, use the CFFILE to manage your image file, and use a database
field as a pointer to that file (look up the CFFILE tag in your favorite
book for more info). It doesn't matter too much on size of the product
database. Some creative design on the directory structures can make the
files more manageable if you like.
I mean honestly, how do you think stores that offer gazillions of products
do this in the first place?
