QuestionLarge amount of images - ideas needed Pin
Dewald10-Aug-08 8:23
Dewald10-Aug-08 8:23 
Hi all, I'm looking for just some ideas, not really specific implementation (although, if you feel like sharing that I'd be thankful).

I have a folder with a very large number of pictures (around 10,000). None of these images are particularly big (about 50 to 100KB each)
My application views these images, 5 at a time, depending on what the user chooses. To be more clear, the images are of various species of birds. For each species there can be 5 to 10 images and, in the application, when the user selects a species, it displays all the images of that species.

I'm using the filenames to identify the species and if a certain species is selected I find the applicable files from the folder by using Directory.GetFiles() matching the relevant file names.

This is the first thing I would like to change. I would imagine that a DB implementation of sorts would be more efficient. I like MySQL and have some experience with it (although not in C# seeing as I'm fairly new to C#). Would MySQL be a reasonable choice or is there anything else I should consider if I want to keep the costs of the final product minimal?

Should I save the images as BLOBs in the DB or should I rather save them to disk and save only the file names to the DB?

Secondly, and this is where I really don't have much of a clue. I would like for the images not to be accessible to the end user, ie. this idea of having a folder on disk with 10,000 images. Is there a reasonable way of putting all of the images in a single file perhaps and have the application extract it from the file as needed? The file would be bg (we're talking of up to 500MB), would that pose significant problems to the operation of my application? What might make this decision more tricky is the fact that I'd like for it to be possible and easy to add and remove images from this file at any time.

Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
