I have an SQL 2000 database which has 30,000+ small images stored as blob files. I would like to create an export function (to run daily), so that i can save these blob images on a local drive. Is this possible? and if so could you please point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Brodie

it wasn't my choice, it is a commercial application (student database application) which stores them as blobs in the database.

You can't use SQL Server to import/export the blobs to/from the database. You must use a front-end application to do this. You should post your question in a forum that specifically deals with the programming language that you are using. For .NET applications, I recommend www.asp.net

Also, it is better if you store images/files in Server directory than in table
