 NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(sample);
NSData *myImage=[[NSData alloc]initWithData:imageData];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *fullPathToFile = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Image%d.png",i]];
[myImage writeToFile:fullPathToFile atomically:YES];
[myImage release];

Hope this code helps. Where i is an integer which can take any values 1,2,3.... increment i each time to avoid overwriting images.Now u can store many images without any overwrite problems.If u want to keep storing different images even after the application is closed you can use the NSUSerDefaults to store the last value of i. 

NSString *myImage=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Image%d",i];

After this increase the i value by 1. Then use the myImage string to store it in the sqlite database. Hope this helps.

NSArray *sysPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask,YES);
NSString *docDirectory = [sysPaths objectAtIndex:0];


    NSString *filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", docDirectory,@"ImageName.png"];
    awesomeView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10,60,60 )];
    awesomeView.image =[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
    [mainView addSubview:awesomeView];
    [awesomeView release];

You can use this code to retrieve the image from documents folder and display it in the UIImageView. You can simply store the name of the file alone in sqlite . Using that u can replace the @"image.png" with the fileName retrieved from the database. Hope this helps.

Check UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL in the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate.

That will give the file path.

But I recommend store that image in some other place using NSFileManager and store that file path in your sqlite since the image might be deleted by some other ways.

You need to store image into documents directory using NSFileManager. Search on google or stackoverflow you will find many tutorials. Then you store that path into sqlite that's it. I suggest you to use Unique identifier for each image you can find that code snippet too on goole or stackoverflow.
