Here’s how you can create a table specifically for storing images in MySQL: CREATE TABLE image_store (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, image_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, image_data LONGBLOB NOT NULL); Inserting Images into the Database To insert an image, you’ll need to convert it into a binary format.

In this tutorial, we aim to understand how to store images in a MySQL database. Standard SQL uses BLOB (Binary Large Object) data types to store large amounts of data. A sequence of bytes or octets defines a binary string, typically used to store large images or media files such as audio and video data in the MySQL database.
