I agree to store them in general fields only when no other ways to do something. Because I know now how to print bitmaps using path in field, I don't will not use general field to store bitmaps.

Well, you want to say that database used at night hours too? We use nightly process that shutdowns any client applications that left by users opened and than pack/reindex...
