AFAIK, no.

This fact shouldn't stop you. You can use a DBF file as a container for any kind of file.

Think of the internet packets (which can bear all kind of data, like the pictures, musics, movies) as a records in the database. Then your application should act like a browser, which can assemble these records together into the meaningful unit.

Hello: the model would use in a table dbf memo field is used to hold the name of the image file, and its location in a particular folder on the disk.
the image folder structure will have to be designed and maintain odern if you need to retrieve an image without help of the application.
eg using Windows Explorer.

simple and effective without the aid of database engines.
if the need is to work with engines, the friend Jair Pinho Blob fields does work with a tempo and maybe if you read this post can give you a hand.

Hola : el modelo que utilizaria en una tabla dbf es utilizar el campo memo para contener el nombre del archivo de image, y su ubicacion en una determinada carpeta dentro del disco.
la estructura de la carpeta imagen tendra que ser pensada y mantener un odern por si es necesario recuperar una imagen sin ayuda de la aplicacion.
por ejemplo el uso del explorador de windows.

algo simple y efectivo sin la ayuda de motores de bases de datos.
si la necesidad es trabajar con motores , el amigo Jair Piñho trabajo con campos Blob hace un tempo y puede ser que si lee este post pueda darte una mano.

Once upon a time (PC-AT 16MHz, HDD 40MB), memo fields were a serious performance hit, also the garbage problems, so I'm used to avoid these 'goodies' at any cost.
Now, after a little checking of the example provided by tave2009, looks like these problems are the past.


tave2009 , thank you very much.

I would like to slightly expand the capabilities of tave2009 example, so the question:
Is this program capable to manipulate, without unacceptable slowdown (3 secs and more), lets say, 500 photos, total 1 GB? (on the average 4-5 years old machine).
I assume, the solution of #0 and #26 problem, although not 'rock solid', is 'good enough'.
