Uploading an image from asp.NET (C#) to Oracle 11g
===

I would like to upload an image from an asp.NET Web Forms (4.0) application to an Oracle 11g database. Eventually, I would also need to retrieve the image. 

I was told to use a blob type, but this can change if a better solution is found.

From the front end perspective I am using the asp.NET File Upload component and is great to select the path of the file. 

What is the best way around it? Work with blob's? work with bfile's? upload the image on the server and just store the path?
