using SQL to send or recieve video?

[ssss]

Is it possible to store a live video feed in a database like SQL? And can this video be viewed live on a website?

Why would you want to store the whole video in the database? Just store the path to the video on the server.

If you want to do video streaming ask your host, or check your control panel and see if you can install darwin streamer.

It will allow you to stream video.

its like a security camera so i want to store the video in the database as it is being broadcast live on the server.. Can i use apache web server for this purpose? for broadcasting?

ssss,

If I understand you correctly, you want to show the live video on you website and at the same time you want to record the video and store it on your server.

I wouldn't recommend storing raw video data in a database. Unless you have a good reason, you can just store it as a video formatted file right on your server like you would an image or any other file.

Yes you can use Apache for this, but like I mentioned if you can use Darwin it is specifically made to broadcast/stream video.
