Images in database

[Matí­as Alejandro Torres <torresmat gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm building an application which handles, let's say... "people's 
information". This information is stored using sqlite which until now 
consisted only in human-readable data (text/integers/dates). But... now 
I need to handle images (GdkPixbufs) and I don't know how to store it, 
is perfectly safe using sqlite to store this GdkPixbufs too?

Now, a GTK question :P, I wan't to provide functionality to resize the 
images to fit the actual size of it's container visible area, how do I 
know the size of this area? The image is packed inside a GtkPaned.


Thanks in advance, Matias.
