Thanks Todd and Tyler for the encouragement, When I searched on Mysql column types, I did not find any obviously suitable for images. I do not suppose I can use VARCHAR, can I?
Also, I need to have very good performance on data retrieval and transport, which means I also need to have maximum retrieval speed and minimun memory size of my images. My images are just plain graphics, no rich colors. How can I realize the above purposes? Thanks for any help. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Williamsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 7:41 PM To: 'Zhao, Charles'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Beginners Question Yes, mySQL is up to the task. Just make sure you design the DB with fast retrivals in mind -----Original Message----- From: Zhao, Charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 3:53 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Beginners Question Hello there, I am trying to find which database to use. I will have text and image data. Lots of image data. Most of the time I am doing data retrieving, but when updating, it will be text almost always. No enterprise use, but very busy database hits. Could any one please educate me if mysql is a good database for this purpose? Or anything else? Many thanks. -- charles --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
