[shamsam1]

i am using mysqldatabase in which i am storing images (around 2000) databse is around 200mb. which is in web server.

we are using crystal report to display the images. when we try to retrieve the image its becoming very slow to display.

I would suggest that you store the path to the image in the database. Not the image.
Also what size are the images? If they do not need to be large resize them to a more bearable size.

1200*900 is the image size its around 200kb.
Total no of image stored is around 2500 numbers. it will increase

As i am using crystal report to display images.i am storing it in database.

Please suggest me with alternatives
