Answer 1

It is not recommended to store the image data in the sqlite. But if you want to store the image data then use this link
Save image data to sqlite database in iphone
Hope this will helps you..

Answer 2

You better use caches to store your images, and use database to store their names or some unique id's

Answer 3

Just write following code in -(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image
editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo: if you are getting image from gallery or Camera otherwise skip code under if (imageData != nil) and just use below code to save image in sqlite
NSData * imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.8);
NSLog(#"Image data length== %d",imageData.length);
if (imageData != nil)
{
UIImage *resizedImg = [self scaleImage:[UIImage imageWithData:imageData] toSize:CGSizeMake(150.0f,150.0f)];
NSData * imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(resizedImg, 0.2);
NSLog(#"*** Image data length after compression== %d",imageData.length);
NSString *nameofimg=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",resizedImg];
NSString *substring=[nameofimg substringFromIndex:12];
NSString *new=[substring substringToIndex:7];// Get image name
NSArray *path=NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentdirectory=[path objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *newFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:[documentdirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: #"/%#.png"],new];
[imageData writeToFile:newFilePath atomically:YES];
imgpath=[[NSString alloc]initWithString:newFilePath];
NSLog(#"doc img in img method === %#",imgpath);
}
databasepath=[app getDBPath]; // i have this method in delegate
if (sqlite3_open([databasepath UTF8String], &dbAssessor) == SQLITE_OK)
{
NSString *selectSql = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"insert into imagetb(imagename,image) VALUES(\"%#\",\"%#\") ;",yourImgName,imgpath];
NSLog(#"Query : %#",selectSql);
const char *sqlStatement = [selectSql UTF8String];
sqlite3_stmt *query_stmt;
sqlite3_prepare(dbAssessor, sqlStatement, -1, &query_stmt, NULL);
if(sqlite3_step(query_stmt)== SQLITE_DONE)
{
NSLog(#"home image updated. :)");
app.houseImage=imgpath;
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Sorry" message:#"Failed To Save Home Image." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
sqlite3_finalize(query_stmt);
}
sqlite3_close(dbAssessor);
