Embedding Graphics as BLOBS

[adamestrada]

All,

Is it possible to embed a graphic inside a FGDB? I am interested in storing image chips to use as quick reference information in the DB and am stuck on how to accomplish this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I just came across this guy...http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Adding_raster_datasets_as_attributes_i...

Is there a way to do this programatically?

Regards,
Adam

While file geodatabases can store rasters, the FileGDB API is documented as not supporting them.
You can certainly store any bytestream in a BLOB column, but that will not generate a RASTER type
column.  ArcObjects can be used to load rasters programatically.
