Hi,

I'm trying to save some images into my Database of my application. Can I know which of the method below is better and why?

1. Store only the picture path into the database. Retrieve Picture according to its path.

2. Store the Picture in Database as bytes.


Thanks.

I think a better way is convert as byte..
Some trouble can happen if you missing the path of image or moving some pics.
Never tried = Never Know
So, Please do something before post your thread.
