isnt it better not to store images in the database. I am thinking about 4
pics per apartment at about 65k. I have found about 200 buildings some of
which are well above 25 flights and about 15 apartments per floor and of
course I have 4 floor walk ups and have talked many into faxing me when
apartments become available for others i was told to call every 2 weeks. <--
DateLastCalled in managements table will be needed.
apartments in the same line can share pictures soooo I should also have
ApartmentNumber indexed.
I have a pretty good print out of all the file types.
Text is 65,535 characters. I will be using about 4 varchars at 255 for
details.
as far as what to do with the pictures I must have read that 100 time. I am
sure i can find it again.

as i understand it just typing in the hyper link would make it just text.
dont i have to do some kind of script? when the properties are shown I
would like there to be a
hyper link to that apartments page. I am not going to do that now. I would
like to table structure to be ready for when I am ready.
