Working with databases

[imagetester]

I was guided to ImageMagick through the DB2 UBD which listed ImageMagick as an extender.
I'd like to know how to link it with the DB2 with imagemagick, in other words i want to put images on DB2 and to manipulate them using the Magick++ library, is it possible ?
Any interesting tutorial?!

Is it called BLOB?
I'm able to read images from a directory like image.read("c:\...") but i wanna read a record from the DB2 containing the image.

Thanks in advance,

A Blob is just a normal Image File format that was saved into an in memory string rather than to a file. Perfect for saving onto databases, or outputing from a image generating web script.
