RE: [ cf-dev ] CF anf BLoBs

[Steve & Karen Kahn]

Matt First of all what type of database are you using? If its Microsoft SQL than make the field that is to store the image a “varchar”. Now when you input the data, do not put the file in. Instead put the server path To the file. “web/images/picture_blob.jpg”. Now when you want to show it on a page. Use a standard <CFQuery name=bubba> select * from myfield </cfquery> Then Use a <cfoutput query=blob>#bubba#</cfoutput>   Hope that helps.
