Everyone says keep files externally with a reference / pointer in a row. Text in row option...

But if the datatype is image, what's with all this hassle I hear about? I see regular reports with .bmp data displayed plain and clear. I can get a textptr to the object I want to see. Why can't I do a

SELECT image from <table> and see the picture? Can it be done within SQL at all? All I need to do is read images with WHERE conditions set

Are there system procedures I can find to do this? These images are being written in every day! I need to read them for a report! Not READTEXT

The data is a signature, by the way, on a PDA

Sql2k comes sample code for that, you can install sample code from sql2k cd abd take look at it. It's not by t-sql statement.
