I can assure you that storing images in BLOB does not bloat a database. They
are designed for this very thing. Though I will admit that Oracle is far
better than SQL Server at doing it. I have never really dealt with mySQL and
it's been years since I used Informix so I can't tell you much on those
products.


We do this for our fax apps. We store all types of data in Oracle BLOBS and
it is actually faster than file writes. We use a JSP page to do the pulls
and puts. In fact we even integrated it into our PeopleSoft product so that
our remote locations can now just fax in new hire documents, the faxes go
directly to the database and are available for viewing through the Job panel
in PS.

I've always heard path in text fields.  From what I understand, storing as
BLOBs will bloat the db, and it's rather slow.

  What's the in/out for image storage? Bynary in BLOB database fields or
file system or path in text fields?

  Subject: RE: insert multiple drop down list selects into access

  Looks like you want a one-to many relationship. Create a second table for
that (with a FK to the existing table). Then loop over the list and insert
in the second table within the loop (using the PK from the record in the
first table as FK in the second table)

  Onderwerp: insert multiple drop down list selects into access

  Is it possible to insert into one access database number field, a comma
  delimited list of numbers, received from a form template thusly (is not
  working now ... only can one number to show in the database when
  multiples are selected on the form drop down):

  FORM CODE:
  <select name="cat_no" multiple>
  <cfoutput query="client_cat"><option
  value="#cat_no#">#work_cat#</cfoutput>
  </select>

  TEMPLATE WHERE DATABASE INSERT IS HAPPENING:

  <cfquery datasource="todo" dbtype="odbc">
  INSERT into clients (category)
  VALUES (#cat_no#)
  </cfquery>

  TIA
  Tim
