Before you go down this path...let me just tell you...DO NOT DO IT. It is
pointless to store images in a database when you have a file system that
works perfectly for this job.
The right way to do this is to store the images on disk and in the database
put a relative path to the image on disk. You can then use that information
as needed.
Also, just to clarify, you are probably confused about how images are placed
into web pages. They are a separate connection to the server.
