This shouldn't be necessary if you are storing raw image data, actually.
But I'd strongly recommend just storing filenames in the DB. Why push and
pull such large chunks of data from the DB? What's the point?
Better yet, simply generate filenames based on the ISBN or something
unique like that (id in the db would work too).
