what datatype should i use to store imaq image in sql database?

[bloodxrage]

Hi there i am thinking of saving the imaq image into database for retrieval in my website so that it's like a stream but i don't like what datatype does labview store the image as.

Save image to a file, and keep its location in database is the best solution.

i have tried doing that but the image does not update(stream) it's jus a still frame

You have two options for storing images in a relational database:

A.  Don't put it in a database.  Store it as a file, and store the pointer int he DB (as mentioned above).

B.  Store it as a blob datatype.  See here for more info.
