Storing a fingerprint template in a database and retrieving it for verification

I'm working on a project that requires capturing the biometrics of my target users, I'm trying to store the captured fingerprint template (.ftp) file in a database and need guidance on implementation.
I will also need to have a verification button that will capture a users fingerprint, compare with database records and return a match.

Most bio-metric devices return a string of numbers, so depending on the length, you can either use a text or BLOB.
