I am going to be writing a program to mass add products to the database. Right now my images are in a folder on my machine. I thought I was going to be able to FTP them up in a folder and just reference them. Now I find out they are stored in the database.

Is there any way to tell a product to look at a URL for an image vs a blob out of the database ? How can I programmatically get that blob in the database?

Thanks
