I agree, however my problem is my company is using a software program
to create ID cards and the images as well as employee information go
into this SQL database. I was given an assignment by my boss to use
this database and the data it holds to create a search page for
employees to then have their generic information and data displayed.
The images by default get stored in the database and when I was talking
about storing them elsewhere was told it is not an option. Thanks for
the response though, I guess I will just keep plugging away.
Thanks,
Ben
