Images in Database

Hello Everyone,

I want to store images in a database. So far I am familier with MS Access database. But I know embedding images in MS Access Database makes it grow very large in size and is inefficient.

For my personal use I want to add images and text in database table. Is there a way to do that in MS Access in an efficient way.

Are there other freeware easy to use databases available whereby I can do it.

Would be glad if anyone can help.

Thanks,
JG
