U want to store as image or in other format?

Makes no sense. This is a image or a formula. What exactly do you want to do?

you mean that you want to save the formula as varchar and show it like an image?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 23-Feb-12 3:40am

Why sign? How it is related to image?

To do this, you need a software that renders mathematical formula as images at some point. Here's few ways of doing it.

1. Create images for the formula and store the image in the database. (I think this is what you are going to do): I do not know of any software/library that can do this.

2. Store the formula in a textual format (e.g. MathML[^]), and render the image as you send the webpage to the client: But this also needs the same software in point 1, and point 1 seems to be more efficient if the formula are unchanged for a long time.

3. Store the formula in textual format (say MathML), and let the client's web browser render it: Some web browsers can render embedded MathML. But its SOME web browsers after all. Not every one of the can do that. You can find information about browser support on MathML Wikipedia page.
