Where is your image to start?  Let's say in a flat file on disk.  Just
load it in one fell swoop into a byte[].  See
http://mindprod.com/applets/fileio.html
for the code.

Now you can feed it as a BLOB to your database.

Now you fetch it back as a blob and turn in back into a byte[].

Now you want to render it.  You could convert your byte[] to a
byteArrayInputStream.  again see the file i/o amanuensis for how.
Then use ImageIO to read the bytes to create a image. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/imageio.html
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read ( new ByteArrayInputStream (
rawImageBytes ) );

Alternatively you could use:

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage( rawByteArray , start, length
);
