Hello Friends,

In VB.Net
I'm using SQL Database to save images. Images are having big Dimensions like 1944*2592.
If large No. of images are saved in a database then possibly the size of database will reach some GBs. what to do in this case?

Solution 2

If you really bother about the size of your database, save only filepaths in the database and mainrain all your images in a folder repository.

Thanks
