For starters, storing all the image data for an application like Ansel  
in a SQL datbase is going to be *horribly* ineffecient. Unless you  
have a good reason why you can't use a filebased VFS, I would  
reconsider.

That being said, if you want to continue down this road - for starters  
you could check the schema for the Vfs tables in the database. I would  
also check for things like maximum allowable packet size in the  
database server's configuration. Check the database documentation for  
further information.
