Image Store @ My SQL

2010-01-30 Thread Vikram A
Hi,

I am using MYSQL with VB 6.0. We have fedora11 my sql (version 5.1.32).

We have an client server application, server is located at another end of an 
intranet and the nodes are connected from different ends of intranet.

In this modal, I need to store image of the student from one node that has to 
be accessed / Changed / by other nodes. If I have only one system I can store 
the path of the image. But it is a remote server, i can not store the PATH 
simply. 

Because of this i would like to go for an another modal of storing image itself 
into the DB

I would like to know how VB 6.0 will handle this modal.

Please give your valuable input on this issue.

Thank you

VIKKI A

Bad idea. Sotring images is what a file system is for. Create an NFS
or other networked storage and store your images there. I don't see
the problem?

good luck,

Well, MySQL (as most databases) is not really suited for storing
images. If you create a networked storage that you can share between
both locations, that would solve your problem, right?

Dear Sir,

Let me explain what i understood,

1. I have to create a shareable folder among the network.
2. The image files has to be kept at share machine
3. Then the path (share machine) of the file has to be stored in the DB
4. When we want it has to be taken from the share 

Is it So?  then i may have the following, when ever i want the image of a i 
need look for the share machine! If it is not available it may cause some 
difficulties.

Please share your knowledge

Thank you

Why not? Normalizing gets you -more- tables, not less.


And normalizing is a goal in itself? I've seen plenty of normalized 
databases which have become a big mess because of the unnecessarily 
complex queries you needed to do a relatively simple job.


A lot of the enterprise level features can be useful in certain cases, 
but it seems that a lot of times they are just used simply to use them. 
I cannot find justification for making databases unnecessarily complex, 
using subqueries when a simple join is all you need, using views, 
functions, stored procedures in cases that don't require such features, etc.


I agree that a lot of people requiring more powerful hard- and software 
for their application are simply forgetting that they were supposed to 
produce a working application and not the most normalized database with 
all the fancy views and other stuff.

How about complex data requirements?  Depending on the resolution of
your data set, I could see a simple person-type object that contained
name, address, SSN, mother, and birth_info starting to approach the limit.

Cities change, address changes, names change, and even mothers can
change. The simple-looking street part of an address can have (at least)
number, direction, name, suffix, any of which can change.


Okay, so you want to link a person to an address table. I can justify 
that in the case of multiple addresses with a single person. But then 
you build a 'city' table to normalize that. Or no, better make a zip 
code table, link that to the 'city' table.
Wait, streets can change names; a 'street' table too to link. Oh no! 
sometimes streets are split. So an address is a 'property' (a piece of 
ground), linked to a street, street linked to zip code, zip code linked 
to city. Damn (sorry), a 'property' can be divided... Oh my...


Ever thought about updating a table by renaming a street? Or by 
selecting a group of street-number combinations and rename them?



The real art is trying to balance the need of simplicity and ease of
understanding with the need for flexibility, and that has nothing to do
with relational theory. 


In real life the balance tends to go to unnecessary flexibility 
resulting in systems which are simply too heavy for the actual needs.


 Complex datasets are, by their nature, complex,

and can only be simplified so much. You try to hide the complexity, you
shift it, you move-it, you send it to its room, you pretend it is not
there. And yet it still pops up at the most inopportune times and has to
be dealt with.


And still, in a lot of cases the complex datasets are even made more 
complex by normalization, trying to be ultimately flexible and creating 
a solution for problems which simply don't exist.


In almost all cases a simple solution will be the best.

Jigal van Hemert.

I agree with Walter, a filesystem is far better suited for this.

That said, mysql does have the ability to do what you are saying, you would 
just store it as a 
binary blob which is well documented and quite easy to use. 

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html

   1) NFS sharing a file (any file) is better suited for this task.
   2) The DB should only hold the file path (pointing to the NFS share)

   Your comment above, what if the NFS share is unavailable, it will 
cause a problem.  While this is true, the same can be said about your 
SQL server.  What if it becomes unavailable?


   Point is, use the tools you have available for what they're best 
intended for.  You can have 1 master server that is both your NFS as 
well as your MySQL server and that sits at one end of your intranet.  
Then you have the second machine, at the other end of the intranet, act 
as the MySQL slave and replicate everything from the master DB.  As long 
as the paths stored in MySQL are pointing to the NFS path, everything 
should work fine.


   And if you don't want to run NFS, you can run rsync on the slave 
server and pull all the images from the master machine into the slave 
one.  This will avoid images not being found if your master server goes 
down.


   There are many ways to skin this cat ...
