use getImage to get file path as string and store path to your table

get file path from your table as string, then use ShowImage to show your image

VB

Function getImagePath() As String
       Dim dlg As New OpenFileDialog()
       Dim StrPath As String = ""
       dlg.Filter = "Jpeg Files|*.jpg|All Files|*.*"
       If dlg.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
           StrPath = dlg.FileName.ToString
       End If
       Return StrPath
   End Function

   Sub ShowImage(strPath As String)
       If System.IO.File.Exists(strPath) Then
           Dim Img As Image
           Img = New Bitmap(Bitmap.FromFile(strPath))
           PictureBox1.Image = Img
       End If
   End Sub

Solution 1

Store it in a varchar column of your table like any other piece of data.

Solution 2

Rather than storing the entire path in a single VARCHAR column. Try and store the path in a column and the file name in another column.
E.g:- Store E:\Pics\ in column1
and Pic1.jpg in column2
