Question : Import graphics into MySQL

I have a MySQL database on a Linux host.  I can import data from .sql or .csv into my database.
On the server, we are importing graphics one at a time into a binary field.

Is there a way to do any one of the following:
...manually upload the graphics to a folder on the host, then, with a .sql command or script add that data to the database.  Each graphic has the same name as the item number.  For example, each record would have a field ItemNumber: #### and a field Graphic: the graphic would be named the same ####.jpg

OR

... import graphics from .sql, .csv or MS ACCESS?

Answer : Import graphics into MySQL

I think the easiest method would be to upload your images to a folder, and reference them in your database. If the ItemNumber is used for the image name then a SQL statement like the following should do the trick.


1:
UPDATE yourTable SET Graphic = CONCAT(ItemNumber, ".jpg");
