$setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');

$setup->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'sliderimage', array(
    'group'         => 'General',
    'input'         => 'image',
    'type'          => 'varchar',
    'label'         => 'Slider Image',
    'backend'       => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
    'visible'       => 1,
    'required'        => 0,
    'user_defined' => 1,

    Guys, this is ridiculous. You don't even know what an sql update is.
    The code is correct, but putting it into header and then removing - nothing to say.

      getStoreCategories();

      foreach ($storeCategories as $_category):
      $_categoryModel = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
      $op = $_categoryModel->getData('sliderimage');
      echo Mage::getBaseUrl('media').'catalog/category/'.$op;
      endforeach;

    I found this post searching for the way to show the category image on the frontend, looking at the last comments I think I'm probably not the only one. The answer is: reindex. Then the image filename will be available with ->getData('sliderimage') on the frontend.

    $setup = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');

    $setup->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'sliderimage', array(
    'group' => 'General',
    'input' => 'image',
    'type' => 'varchar',
    'label' => 'Slider Image',
    'backend' => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
    'visible' => 1,
    'required' => 0,
    'user_defined' => 1,
    'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,

      You can concatenate the media_url and filename to get the end result.
