Hello Amedo & Thomas;
I've developed some classes that can stream data out of a series of
ordered BLOB's. This is used for a couple things in a couple of my
projects and it can also be used for storage of images and the
subsequent outbound streaming of images from a WOA. You can find out
more about this approach by downloading my framework and reading the
PDF if you are interested.
I agree that it is nice to store the images in the database for
backup purposes as well as a few other things -- eg: tens of
thousands of images on disk poses issues for clustering. In this
way, described in the PDF, there need not be too much material in
memory at any one time except possibly (but not necessarily) when the
image is first loaded into the BLOB storage. This is because it
loads each BLOB up as it streams it out.
This may or may not be helpful. :-)
cheers.
We've developed an electronic logbook that stores everything (text,
images, attachments) in an Oracle database. It has been running
probably for about three years now and has been working very well,
so far. Personally, I prefer the database approach. There are at
least a few advantages. Here are a few:
