How do I creating a database of image files that is accessible from MATLAB?

I need to create a database of some image files and I also need to read the database by using MATLAB code.

[Oleg Komarov]

And the question is? (be specific...I wouldn't be asking how to program in C++ in a C++ forum)

[Jiro Doke]

And what exactly do you mean by "database"? A JDBC or ODBC database? Or just a catalog of information that is stored in some format?

The correct subject line for this question should be: "How do I store and retrieve image data from a database <insert database name here>". Please post questions with more descriptive titles.

You could store the image data into a database as a BLOB (Binary Large Object). I know you can do this in MySQL, you need to check if its possible in your specific database. You would need the Database Toolbox to insert / extract these BLOBs into your database.

Recently I pointed to an ActiveX control that could handle Blobs without needing the Database Toolbox in itself.

That's great Walter, feel free to post it as another answer for this question.
