When attaching items to posts it is best to ZIP them first - this decreases the size and is one of the file types allowed to be posted.

It is not possible to read binary data (e.g. pictures) from a database. However it is much simpler to include a field in the database which contains the filename (rather than the file itself) and then reference the files by making a full path using variables - for example, something like:

Code:
ImageName = SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "Images\\" + FilenameDatabaseField
