WOW, that is a lot of questions at one time.

MSQL is a good database that many Coldfusion Hosts have available and can be used for images as a "Blob" or "image" data type. However it will be recommended that the Database should store the location of image rather the image itself.(thats another debate).

CFFile is a tag to look up for the file upload process or there are image processing or upload scripts that if search for can be found and easycfm.com is a good place to start.

Ooops,

Thought I was in the CF forum.

MSSQL will still work as the databse. Disregard the CF info if your using ASP.
