A small application for Storing and Retrieiving Images or Image Files from a Database. These Images can be stored as a File Pointer or a Binary Data / Large Objects (BLOB).
Both options have their Pros and Cons.
If it is saved as a BLOB, the database can get inflated rather quickly (...which should not be a problem for users with BIG hard-disks or with a removable storage medium).
If it is saved as a file pointer, the database will be very small. However, images and pictures will NOT be centralized in one database location as the image files will be in locations all over the user's machine. If the location or the folder in which these pictures are stored are moved or renamed, you will get numerous broken links. Therefore, I would recommend that users store the pictures or images in a folder where it is not moved or renamed at all. With the file pointer option, users can also choose to view the image picture in the default application in which they are launched in. If not, these image pictures are still available for viewing via a small window in this application. This freeware is Unsupported. |
