[postgis-users] PostGIS and Blobs

[Rosangela Silva]

Paul,

I have 1531 JPGs (500x500) to state of Sao Paulo for example.
I think that it'll be more pratice to handle this images in a database
with image_name, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax, blob and create and
spatial index for this data (by box of image).

How can I manager many images files ?? And my vectors data
in the PostGIS??

If you are not managing the rasters, just displaying them, why not just 
store them as files?
