Boris,
Thanks. I have few more questions, though. How do I convert an image into
its hex equivalent? This is my situation: I would like to a) insert pictures
and their captions into a database table and, when needed fetch them and
display them in a webpage. I am going to use Python for inserting/fetching
the images and their captions. I am not sure, though, how an image can be
converted into its hex form, inserted, fetched and then reconverted into an
image. I am new to this process, so am not sure how this is done.
Thanks
Srikanth.
