<pre> We are currently imaging several different types of images (scans and digital camera). The total number of images could exceed 50,000. These images will mostly be used internally. Occasionally, some of the images may need to copied to CD-ROM and sent out to our cooperators. We are currently debating whether these images should be stored in a file system type structure or in a database (Oracle) type structure. Any information that you could pass on would be helpful.

Sincerely,

RICK LUHMAN
