Which magento table contains product image names?

Question

The problem I'm having is that I import products with Magmi (magento product import open source solution), but I don't see the product image on the front end. I need to know which table in magento database contains image names so that I could maybe feed it somehow directly...

Answer 1

catalog_product_entity_varchar

The table above stores the values that will link your images, but you need check first with the eav_attribute table to find the correct attribute_id key that will reference the image. While this answers your question, I want to remind you that making database changes directly is strongly discouraged. Hope this makes sense.

Answer 2

catalog_product_entity_varchar references the attributes for base_image, small_image & thumbnail along with other attributes requiring an image.

To find all of the images associates with a product we found all of the images listed within catalog_product_entity_media_gallery. This helped us find all duplicate images uploaded

-- We have also used this post to find/fix missing images after a product uploads http://www.blog.magepsycho.com/tag/catalog_product_entity_media_gallery/

But as already mentioned, use with caution!

Answer 3

catalog_product_entity_media_gallery_value_to_entity is what you'll have to use to reference which product ties to which image.
