You're asking two completely different things.

Are you trying to store an image in the database (i.e. as a VARBINARY) or are you trying to store a file path in the database(i.e. VARCHAR). Your example indicates the latter, but your question infers the former.

Generally we will have few image in project folder that particular path will be store in database..Later we will retrieve that image..In case If the folder is not containing the image...while retrieve it wont display image. so I don't want to store in project folder.
