in addition to what Eric and Lee said :
If you don't really need to store the image in a db,
you could only store the path and the name to the image
in your db.
In this way using those images is easier and faster,
the image can also still be used outside your program.
and if the db gets corrupted you lose your images.
(althought this last is trivial, until now (at least 5
years),
I never had any corrupted db)
Of course like every solution, there are some drawbacks :
if you move,delete, alter the name of the original image,
you have to alter this in your db.
Also, each imagename must be unique (in the same directory).
If you want to backup the db, you have to copy the images
too.
