Depending on what you'll be doing with the images, I would strongly
suggest looking into interMedia and storing the data in OrdImage
objects. The interMedia User's Guide has a section on "Tuning Tips for
the DBA"
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a88786/mm_d
ba.htm#598963 that will probably be helpful either way you choose to go.

Subject: BLOB resources
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.=20
Also, some developers are lobbying for SQL Server. Could it handle
this situation?
