Like me... in 2000/2001 where I had only a very small database
of 1 GByte I had done this too... No I have 370 GByte of text
data and 1,5 TByte binaries laying around... It would be a
nightmare to store thise binaries in the database

And if the PICs are in JPEG format, maybe they have EXIF infos
which can be extracted and stored in the database...
