I had many problem with the format....

What I do is that I use access to but a package containing my jpeg image,
then through a sql procedure I send it back to the client as record chunks
of data that I reassemble with php (to avoid any textsize limit).. Then I
strip the beginning of the file to remove the package stub. Finally I send
this data to the client browser...

It works, but it is no fun...

Anybody has something simplier?

Zara, 

I have no direct experience with image data, but the docs say the image
datatype is a lot like the text datatype, controlled in part by the
@@textsize variable.  And I'm pretty sure FreeTDS will do the job in your
environment.  

Have you been able to test your query with sqsh and/or the MS isql program?
