I am looking at a new application that will store millions of images, about
70-k each. My instinct is to store them in a blob datatype. I haven't worked
with blobs before. Can anyone suggest resources for learning how to
configure a scalable database to handle this? My guess is to create it with
a 32-k block size. Obviously each row would take at least 3 blocks, and I
would want to keep the blocks contiguous. 
    Also, some developers are lobbying for SQL Server. Could it handle this
situation?
