Hi all
I am using .jpg images in my application, I am currently storing all my images in a file location, and placing their file path in the database. The problem with this is that I cannot display the images in crystal reports (version with vs.net 2005). I can however display the images if I store them as bytes in an image data type in my db.
So the question is should I store either the file path of the bytes of the image in the database table? What are the contraints, I know that size is one, but will speed & performance be affected?
