We are building an application that calls for storing scan images of hand- written documents on line. Because of corporate constraints, we have been told to do this on a VAX with an RDB database. Unfortunately, no one at DEC seems to know much about this, even though they do sell scanners. Does anyone know: 1: Can scan images be stored a records in an RDB database? 2: How much storage does an 8.5"x11" page require, at the minimum resolution required to allow a human to read the page when it is reprinted? 3: What is the lowest end DEC terminal that will display a scan image? 4: I understand that DEC does have some sort of document management system. Is this worth looking at? All replies appreciated. E-Mail responses will be read faster. Thanks. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ inet: ben@yenta.alb.nm.us | My opinions are my own.
