Image database

I'm still learning and I have a question about storing images. My hosting service offers free MySQL databases. Would it be benificial to set up a database to store my content and recip images and how hard would this be to do? |confused| It seems like if you mirror very many freesites or tgp's this would be the way to go.

It's not a good idea to store images in a database. If you do want to use a database it's much better to store the location of an image (URI) in the database and just reference the file when needed.

I see what you're talking about, you just store your images in one place on your server and then point to them. Thanks for the advise.

If you're short on space take a look at imagevenue.com I use the $19.99 a year advert free version. I only use it on blog material not on free sites... Use it on free sites and I imagine you will get plenty of rejections...
