That said, if you are going to use any programming language, why not store the pointer in the database and the image on the disk? Only case where this would be a problem would be if the numbers of images were so large that the file look up mechanism of the file system began to be a factor. In cases like that I use a tree of subdirectories tied to something like ISBM number. William R.
