I'm developing a web-site which requires the storage of images in the
database. I have defined this field as LONGBLOB in my database tables. The
problem is I can't insert the image at the insert form, and worse of all I
don't know how to start. according to the mySQL manual from mySQL.com's
documentation, I should be storing the path of the picture file into the
database. I have tried but ZOPE defined a floating-point error regarding
the field.

How should I go around this?
