0	You can store into the database. The database field type can be varchar(max) or text in SQL Server database. Generally you do not store the images into the database, you save it on the server and just let user refer the images from the server to your article. When you save the entire html content of the article the image path also get saved and images are displayed when browsed. Hope this will help.
