I know how to implement a database in Borland Builder and basic functions with it.
¤ But HOW do I bind images (.bmp, .jpg, etc) with the database? Separate files and "hyperlinks" to them or merge them into a gigantic file?
¤ Which kind of database is best to use? Access, .db, etc...
Thanx...

Builder Database question
Author
Hi!
My friend(s) and I we''re thinking of making a game together. The "problem" is that my friend have drawn about 200 pictures, which is really hard to keep track of. I''m not meaning graphics to use in the game, I mean concept-art. Either way!
Since I''m the programmer I was thinking of making a simple database program, to keep track of the images. Full with info and stuff

Builder comes with a developer version of Interbase, doesnt it? Why not just use that?

Hi there,
If its not going to be massive and does not
require extensive searching, or a large amount
of users I would go with a simple Paradox table.
If the images are static :-
Then just create your image field as type image
and bind this to a TDBImage control in the
same way you would do text then to write the
image to the dataset just do
DBImage1.DataSource.DataSet.Edit;
DBImage1.Picture.LoadFromFile(FileName);
DBImage1.DataSource.DataSet.Post;
or something simular.
Else
Just store the filename and path.
Hope its of some help.
