I have worked with three different imaging applications, all of which were tied into RDBMS. All of them worked the same way. Use the RDBMS to index the image/text files. Your typical RDBMS row will than consist of the address of a specific image/text file and the retrieval terms that apply to that file.
On a retrieval you will have to provide code to accept the users lookup criteria, build and execute a query returning the name of the desired image/text file, invoke your viewer or text reader, and invoke the viewer/reader program with the name of the file to be operated on.
This can be done with several commercial programs or you can write your own.
