We want to be able to take pictures with our iPads and upload them to our databases as part of the the documentation for when using an editor. Can picture files be uploaded to from an iPad into a GIS database using the attachment editor?
One approach is to add the photos as attachments to a feature service - using a process similar to the one Paul outlines on his blog. Here's a sample that shows this in action.
If you test out the code on your phone or ipad you should be able to either take a new pic or grab an existing one from the photo library. This photo is then added as an attachment to a feature layer. I've also attached the source in case you are interested.

That's what I was looking for. One last question; can you make it so you can insert more than one picture or do you need additional fields in the feature service?
The sample I provided uses feature service attachments to store the photos. You can have more than one attachment associated with a feature. Details on enabling attachments in a feature service can be found here:
