Hi.
If you want to store the binary images in the database, the column type will
most likely be a BLOB assuming the images are not bigger that 60k.
If you want to store just url or file paths (http://www.myhost.com/pict.jpg
or /home/bob/image.gif) use a VARCHAR(XX) where XX is a reasonable length of
what you think the longest link will be. 30? 50?
Have fun.
