   Hi
   Guys I need to remove all images from the database.

   This is because i want to show a default one if there are none specified.

   I'm changing theme so I need to use different size images thus negating the need for the current one.

   Images themselves are not kept in the database, they are usually in a sub-directory such as wp-content/uploads.

   Now the wp_posts table contains references to images and those records have a post_type of "attachment".

   can a default image be shown if an image is not found?

   CFCnet,

   What you need is a php if statement to determine if the image exists. Try something like this to get started. This assumes that you are looking for an image in a custom field and the determines if custom field is empty.

   <?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customFieldName', true) ) { ?>
     <img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/uploads/<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customFieldName', $single=true) ?>">
   <?php } else { ?>
    <img src="path/to/default/image.jpg">
   <?php } ?>
