How do i load images from sql. Im using vb6. Actually I need to store the image in sql and load it using vb6. I don't think i still need the filepath for the image because my goal is to save the image itself in the database and load it in the project.
because images are usually huge, it is recommended not to store them in the database itself, but to leave them in a "safe" folder, and to store only the pathname in the database

thanks for the reply marco .... but how do i place the images in the "safe folder" that you're telling me? I database PC has high security and they don't allow any folder sharing.... that's why im thinking of saving the image itself.. but how?....
help.. anyone...
your point is well taken. We use a windows server (that is running using a logon with the right permissions) to store data. And it can run in any computer (not necessary the database server, infact in our case it doesn't)
