Hi
How should I store image on a products db? Should I have a link in the
ProductTable that points to the gif/jpeg that is physically saved under an
images folder on the website or should I use blob fields?
Regards

there are advantages with both alternatives... depending on the quantity and
perhaps questions like whether the db runs on the same machine together with
the web server or not etc.
it depends on the db you use too - some handle BLOBs very good and some
pretty bad...
btw : you should consider having a table for your images / image references
and another table linking your products to your images... this way you can
have more than one image per product...
