Answer 4

First you have to decide what database you want to use (e.g. MySQL, MS SQL, Access, DB2, etc). Each database has a field type that allows for BLOBs (Binary Large Object). Create a table in the database with a field that accepts the BLOB type. Now things get complicated. Depending on the programming language or user interface you prefer, there are hundreds of ways to convert an image to it's raw binary form and insert the binary into the database. See the following link for a single example:

Answer 5

You can always store the images and then database references to them. If you had a million image file URLs, you could use the URL string as a pointer to the actual file. It depends what you're trying to achieve.
