  1. size depends on scanning resolution (higher resolution results in a bigger file size)
  2. what do you call a "minimum"? Zero file size? 10 KB? 100 KB? I use Photo Resizer; you can pick any tool you want. For example, Faststone Image Viewer does the same, but in GUI
  3. I don't know which one is "better" (what do you call "better", anyway?). I use BLOBs.
  4. That's normal; SQL*Plus (as well as any other tool I know) can't display an image
  5. Sure there is; have a look at DBMS_LOB package and its GETLENGTH function.

from your experence ,i saved one image in my table and
i used select dbms_lob.getlength
and it give me this number 7633955 (this number is only for one image)
from your point of view is it practical to save image in the database i mean is this size is acceptable i dont want after saving few image the program become slow or my table space become full

I keep my images in file system (i.e. I don't store them in the database). I can't tell what would be better for you; the answer might depend on number of images (dozen, hundred, thousands, ...?).
