Basic operations and Concept

Store or Link Images

You can  store the images in the database or only a link to the file containing the image. 
Storing the image needs more DB-Space but the portability is better because everything is contained in one file, the DB.
Storing a Link needs less space but the links can become invalid when You delete or move linked files.
