Hi Sanjay,

Yes you can store the image in binary form in the entity.

Hi Sanjay,

Like Pramod says, you use the Binary data type to do so. What I'd like to add, is that in case you want to store them in the database, it is good practice to have a seperate Entity that contains just an Id and the Binary data (and optionally the file name or the like). The reason for this is that databases store binary content in a specific way, which may interfere (as in "slow down") with normal database stuff like searching and indexing.

So say you want to store the image of a person, and you already have a Person Entity, create a seperate PersonImage entity that stores the image, and uses a "Person Id" as its identifier (so you have a 1:1 relationship).

Hi Kilian, Thanks for the explanation , i wanted to right the same but was in middel of doing something urgent and thus replied in one liner.

Sanjay you should have your answer now or you want any example

Hi Sanjay,

You can store your binary file in an entity. You just need to add an Entity Attribute (Data Type: Binary).

As for the process to upload your image, you need to use the Upload widget. Check this article:

https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/10/Developing_an_Application/Design_UI/Inputs/Upload_Files

To access the image afterward - I mean, show it on the screen - you just need to drag an drop the image widget into your screen, and under the tab properties select Type: Database, and then select the source for File Name and Binary File.
