You need to use large objects.
Currently you use the oid type to store a large object's oid in a table.
Then using the lo_ functions to store and retrieve the image.
The easiest thing to do is look at the docs, although you may want to look
at the ImageViewer example in the JDBC driver (src/interfaces/jdbc/examples)
as it does this exact thing.
