Whats the best way of storring images

I have an application that will handle images for the elements of a catalog. The application will not have a very heavy load, will be for managament use only, and the database and the app server will be on the same machine.
I am investigating what is the best way of storing these images, if i keep them in the database or in the server as files.
With best way i mean perfomance and quick response.
Whats your experience with this topic?
Thanks

I would store them on the server and not in the database as e.g. ORDImage objects (InterMedia). Last approach is more complex. You have to retrieve them from the database and if you use ORM the framework needs to support this type of object. If you store the images on an Oracle AS they can still be cached.

    Hi,
    When you are asking about the "best method for BDB", you should first read this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/am_conf/select.html
    When you know exactly what are the differences between the BDB access methods, then you will be able to figure out which is the best method for your requirements or to ask a more specific question.
    Regarding the second problem, you should read about isolation and degrees of isolation: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/inc.html

  • What is the best way to store and search 2D data

    Hi,
    There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
    like this :
    Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
    What is the best way to store and search those records ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

  • What's the best way to store my info externally

    I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
    Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
    Any help would be much appreciated !
    Thanks, Sara***

    Sara,
    The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive.  Some are better than others, but most will work.
    For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support.  I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
    Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs.  If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

  • What is the best way to place image (with caption) in a Book?

    I am preparing a template for an Encyclopedia project, The Encyclopedia will be in more than 10000 pages, so what is the best way to place images (Photos, Graphs, illustration ...etc) with a caption?
    The problem that when I modify text; the image don’t move with it, and when I place it within the text, it's difficult to control text flow.
    Please Help

    Thank you Peter,
    it's a bit dificult to control anchored object -speacially in two colum text box- when placing image in one and half colum size, it wont move to first column.

  • What is the best way to store a battery?

    Hi,
    I have an extra MBP battery. What is the best way to store this extra battery? Should I store it when it is fully charged? or Should I store it when it is half full? Is it necessary to use that batter once in a while?
    Thank you beforehand.

    If you're storing it for a long time, put it away when it's about half full. If you have a couple of batteries for your MacBook, I'd recommend swapping batteries once a month or so to extend the life of both batteries.

  • How do you move pictures to an external drive to open space on the Mac hard drive? Or what is the best way to store photos safely?

    How do you move pictures to an external drive to open harddrive space? Or what is the best way to store large photo files? Ive tried copy/cut and paste and it doesnt work. I have nothing on my Mac but photos and its telling me startup disk is too full to download updates.

    How is the external disk formatted?

  • What is the best way to display image ??

    hi my questions is unusual, there are so many ways to display images.
    I m developing image processing s/w can any one suggest me which would be the best way to display image on which i can perform image operations.
    like in JPanel, icon, trhough paint() or anything else...
    thank you..In advance

    hi man... i think so imaging is better with JAI(Java Advanced Imaging) .... is perfect for display in jcomponent like JPanel or JLabel, you have to replace the paintComponent().
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import java.awt.Rectangle;
    import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
    import javax.media.jai.PlanarImage;
    import javax.swing.JComponent;
    class ImagePanel extends JComponent {
         protected PlanarImage image1;
         protected AffineTransform atx= new AffineTransform();
         protected int width, heigth;
         public ImagePanel() {
         public ImagePanel(PlanarImage i) {
              image1= i;
              width= i.getWidth();
              heigth= i.getHeight();
         public void paintComponent(Graphics gc) {
              Graphics2D g= (Graphics2D)gc;
              Rectangle rect= this.getBounds();
              if ((width != rect.width) || (heigth != rect.height)) {
                   double magx= rect.width / (double)width;
                   double magy= rect.height / (double)heigth;
                   atx.setToScale(magx, magy);
              if (image1 != null)
                   g.drawRenderedImage(image1, atx);
    if you need more info, ask about JAI api and docs

  • Whats the best way to manage 100s of thumbnails?

    I'm trying to build a simple photo management app in java, like Picasa2. I want to be able to scroll through 100s of thumbnails. Whats the best way to manage them from a memory standpoint?
    a) can I load up 100s of thumbnails into a JScrollPane? If so, will it do anything special to manage memory for the thumbnails that are offscreen?
    b) should I just draw up a grid of JLabels and page through them like you would in html?
    Is there another approach? Is there any special way to manage the thumbnails that are offscreen (besides loading them all in memory ) and still get a fast response time?
    BTW, if anyone wants to join me in this project, I'm happy to opensource and share.

    Because for some of us, it takes a lot longer than 5 mins. Besides, I was on someone else's computer.
    Regardless, I've implemented JList for images, and it works really well. For those of you who are following in my footsteps, the answer is:
    JList renders ImageIcons by default.
    If you want to render a JLabel with an ImageIcon set to an image, you need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, but it turns out that is not too hard. But here is a follow-up problem:
    My app has JLabels that subscribe to an ImageLoader that loads images in the background. On init() the JLabel just has the ImageIcon set to a placeholder image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon = new ImageIcon();
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myPlaceholderImage );
    However, once the actual image is loaded, I call a refresh method to set the ImageIcon to a new image:
              myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myLoadedBufferedImage );
    My problem is getting the JList to render the updated JLabel. Right now, I keep a reference to the JList with myJLabel and call revalidate() on refresh, but that doesn't seem very clean.
    Is there an easy/natural place to get the JList to revalidate()?
    Can I easily know which JLabels are in the viewport of the JList scrollpane? That way I could revalidate only the visible JLabels or when scrolling.

  • Whats the best way to check the speed of my macbook Pro

    Hi people.
    I just wanted to get some advice on how my Mac is running, as i think it has become slower since i bought it and wondered if it is anything i have done or should be doing
    First of all, i have a MBP bought mid 2011, has thunderbolt port, its 2.3Ghz Intel i5, 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3, 320Gb HD and now running Mountain Lion.
    When i first got it i thought it was quicker than anything i have used previously, an example would be when i click to open an apple program e.g. iphoto, the icon jumped up and then seconds later it was open. Now any program i try to open, it seems to take much longer, it bounces for a while and then finally opens.
    I have not got any clutter on the laptop, i keep all my files on a network hard drive. The only thing i have is 80Gb of photos stored under iphoto and i have Windows XP running on a 40Gb partition using Bootcamp.
    I am thinking about getting rid of the XP on my mac to see if it helps, but thought i would ask here first. I need XP as it allows me to run programs which dont support Apple OS X.
    I was also wanting to know the best way to store photos, would i be able to store the photos on my network drive and have iphoto work exactly the same..?
    Help much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • I want to connect a Mac mini to a Samsung 40", Whats the best way to do this?

    I want to connect a Mac mini to a Samsung 40" LED tv to use as the monitor, whats the best way of doing this?

    Understand that there is one HDMI port on your TV that is specifically designated for PC connectivity. The order that the TV or Mini are powered on may determine your results. For your specific TV model, check buyer reviews on Amazon or elsewhere that can include optimum TV/Computer settings adjustment for improved viewing results.

  • When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
    This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
    Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
    The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.
