: You might want to start here:

If you're writing a web application which takes the file from the file
field,
then it's a lot easier to read the file into memory and back into the table
with
an INSERT clause.
As to LOAD_FILE(), you will have to store the file in a temporary location
before
being able to use LOAD_FILE().
To serve images straight off the database, simply read the files into memory
using
a SELECT query, set the content-type header in your application to the
mime-type of
the image, say "image/png", and write it to the stdout.
Voila!
