Images should be stored outside of the DB. The DB should thne only store
the path or the link to the image.

You can do that with "twain source" capable camera which are getting less
and less popular.
These days, I image that you can hook the camera to the PC and treat the
storage on the camera as a USB portable storage and copy and delete the
picture from it.

We were using Logitech web cams. They were unsuitable for a couple of
reasons, though, like no auto focus.

great minds think alike. I am using that too, but it's very unstable. Thanks
for the info.
