Storing images in the database
January 20, 2012

In the beginning was the image file, and the file was stored on the hard drive, and all images were combined into the single file, and all uses accessed the same file. If a single mistake was made by a user the integrity of the file could be compromised.
Back in version 5 of IntelliCred and IntelliApp, we provided support for storing images in the database. With this modification, each image file was separate and would not be compromised by an error made inputting another image.
From version 6 forward, all new customer systems were set to use the database storage option.
It was our recommended approach for image management at that time and continues to be so.
Now several years later, we still have some older customers using the legacy Hard-drive Storage option. This is primarily because we have not pushed them to the database option.
The advantages of storing images in the database are many:
- All image data in one place; One backup of the database will do all important data.
- Ease of data management, as errors in scanning/attaching images can be remedied by correcting only the affected image.
- Improved security to what may be very sensitive data on a common drive.
As we make improvements to the imaging module for the release of version 12, support will end for the old method of storing on the hard drive. Any customers still using that methodology will be required to migrate their images to the database after version 11. The program has a migration utility that works quite well and will even identify image files that are out of sync with the data records.

Ruban,
The support department can help you with that. You don’t really need a user name & password for the application download site. You can access the applications downloads by simply opening up your application mapping, select the file menu > import applications. This will take you directly to the application download site. If you are not sure, or need additional help, simply call our support department at 888-634-4464, option 2 and they can walk you right through the process.
