Images in SQL Server

I'm architecting an application that is going to contain large amounts of
image files and display them on the web, with role-based security for the
images. From everything that I understand is that this should be done by
storing the image on the filesystem and links to that data in a database
table instead of storing these images to the database table. Does anyone
here have experience with this, and can give me some advice as to if this is
the correct direction I should go?

Images in database with SQL 2000 and a proper designed file group system are
great. We use it and would never go to the nightmare of reconciling file
system with database.
You backup a database, you have everything your app needs, even if you send
it to China.
Thanks

Well, the article is pretty reasonable with generic arguments for both sides
with a few pointers to different issues. Performance requirements are often
at odds with ease of maintenance. Readers can always choose implement
solutions depending on their specific business needs.

IIS security problem

Hi,
I have IIS5.0 running on w2k (SP3) for SQL reporting service(SP1). IIS has all the patches that I can find. While IIS running, this computer has been hijacked or turn to proxy server to deliver spam mails. How can I provent it (no smpt service running.)I am not sure I understand the issue you're facing, can you explain some
more?

running. There would be no way for your server to be hijacked if you do not
have these installed. Yes, you can use either but you do not need to. I am
configured where RS sends the email to an SMTP server which resides
elsewhere.

difficult to get budget to try sql reporting service specially it is not
secure. First I did implement sending email in sql reporting service by
changing in configuration file (drop off email files in a folder to smtp to
pick them up). Once I had this problem then I turned off smtp but I still
got emails indicated that my computer was hijacked. I installed lock down
IIS and all the patch for IIS5.0. I would like to try RS but if I still
cause problem to others, I might not be able to test or implement this
software. If you need more info. please let me know.
