What I do is hold the URL of an image (rather than the image itself) in a
database - allows cross reference against db records, and provides quick
accessibility to images pertinent to a situation.

The current design of most HTTP servers that seperates it from a database
makes this inefficient. If a database server were to construct a http
service/daemon that directly interfaces with it this would be more feasible.
At the moment there are few situations that warrant such an overhead
(keeping security badge ids, etc being among the few, for example.)
