>> How would you store a JPEG image in a database? You would disassemble it, and store it in some high-level format? <<

1) Store a file name as a string, so that the application can grab the
file.

2) If this is a serious problem, then use an image base tool. IBM has
one that lets you make a drawing as the query and it will pull out the
ones that are closest; there are several products that do nothign but
face and fingerprint matching; CAD systems that handle 3D objects; etc.


SQL is not the answer to everything.
