Dear MapServers,

Has anyone thought of developing a mechanism to store raster images in a 
database ?
The reason I ask is that we have all of our current and historical imagery 
within ArcSDE and it runs like a cut cat (ie great !).
Tiling, raster resampling etc are all done within the db and utilised by 
the clients (like ArcMap, ArcIMS) at request time.
Has anyone dabbled in this area ? Would PostGreSQL or MySQL be the likely 
contenders ?
Are current methods working fine without this ?

Regards,
Shaun Kolomeitz
