usually you write embedded sql to fetch the image from a file system, then insert it into the table. it is necessary to have the entire image in memory at one time. tip: image table should contain primary key and LONG image only; use a sibling table, one-to-one, to contain attribute columns: this greatly speeds attribute searches. then you write companion embedded sql to fetch images from table; they may be fetched a piece at a time, unlike inserts or updates, if desired.
