Although MySQL can store BLOB's, it's not a good design. What you should do is to export the image from Paradox ( I belief you use Delphi, so you should be able to export it to most of the common image formats ) to the local file system. In MySQL you only use a reference to the file.

If you did this in Paradox way back, you probably would have found a drastic increase in performance.

There are any chances to export with a php script?

Paradox can be accessed via ODBC, so you should be able to do it. It would however seem to be developped by yourself, as I could not find anything along those lines that already works.

I do it in Delphi after all. There are some years i didn't work in Pascal. But i made it.
Thanks a lot.
