Help on DB Design

Hi,
I have a form where users can choose number of file uploads ( drop down ) and upload images. I need to store the path of images in database.I want to know what is the best way to store multiple file upload paths. As per my knowledge it possible to store paths in one field with delimiter. Is there any other good way to store the paths.

Generate FileId in the database and GroupId and FilePath

FileId FileGroupID FilePath

i offer to have the following entity/table for your application :

1-an entity named "Session " with these fields (SessionID,SessionName,SessionDate ) with SessionID for primary key.

2-an entity named SessionFiles with these fields(SessionID,FilenameWithPath,uploadStatus) with "SessionID,FilenameWithPath" for primary key.

3-make relation for these two table with SessionID field.

4-each form shows one session in your application for uploading the related SessionFiles.

5-Enjoy it.sql
