When you are handling large volumes of image data, you can use HiRDB File Link to store the image data on a file server and to store, in a table column, the information needed for linking to this image data stored on the file server. This storage mode minimizes the database load even when the amount of data increases. In addition, increases in data volume can be handled by increasing the disk capacity or the number of file servers. Data registration and retrieval are implemented as explained as follows.
