Hi,
Sql is used for storing data... and image data is stored as varibale length
binary data...
image datatype...
Variable-length binary data from 0 through 231-1 (2,147,483,647) bytes.
Thats why you got that value...
For seeing it... just follow the below link... it uses ASP.NET and the "LOAD
FILE FROM DATABASE" property of text.

Thanks,

[Please specify the version of Sql Server as we can save one thread and time
asking back if its 2000 or 2005]
