>>I've read about saving images as BLOBs inside MS-SQL. Are there any advantages or pitfalls to doing it this way?
It is generally not considerd as a good idea to use a database to store images. The file management system in the operation is also a kind of database, especially made to store and retreive files. The reason database systems have been designed is that they allow for information searching and sorting. But there is nothing to search and sort in an image, so the file management system is much better suited for this kind of task. Using the database engine will just have a bad impact on the overall performance, for no advantage. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
