title: Uploading an image from asp.NET (C#) to Oracle 11g
body: <p>I would like to upload an image from an asp.NET Web Forms (4.0) application to an Oracle 11g database. Eventually, I would also need to retrieve the image. </p>
  
  <p>I was told to use a blob type, but this can change if a better solution is found.</p>
  
  <p>From the front end perspective I am using the asp.NET File Upload component and is great to select the path of the file. </p>
  
  <p>What is the best way around it? Work with blob's? work with bfile's? upload the image on the server and just store the path? </p>
