Kelly - I've used the image datatype before (sql server) and I've since
reverted back to just storing images on disk and entering the path in
the db. We stored the images as blobs - there are two custom tags out
there cfx_putimage and cfx_getimage that do this for you. Someone above
me stated that blobs were not that great, so we reverted back. Honestly,
I can't say why we did that because it seemed to work just fine.

Subject: Question about SQL and the IMAGE datatype
Has anyone every used the IMAGE datatype? Is there any advantage to
this, as opposed to just putting an image name in a text field and
then linking to it in the output via an img src tag? I just haven't
used it so not sure why it would be a good thing. Also how exactly
do you get the image in the field?
