Rick,
Others have dealt with speed and storage issues regarding images and
databases. Here's how I handle things. Rather than calling a BLOB
object. What happens when your client wants to change a significant
proportion of the images - its much easier copying the new images to the
appropriate directory than inserting the images into the database.
Secondly, speed. To display the images, it requires a database call,
that is slower than the <img src=" tag.
Just two issues to consider.
regards,
larry
