This is a very open-ended question. Much of the answer depends upon which database you are using. Oracle's databases can handle large binary objects in a number of ways including as SQL BLOB objects.
The JDBC 2.0 specification supports SQL BLOB objects. So, if you have a JDBC 2.0 compliant database and jdbc 2.0 driver, you should be able to store images to and retrieve images from the database.
The Java Tutorial has some information on using BLOB types here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/jdbc2dot0/sql3.html
You can also download sample code from Wrox's Oracle 8i Application Programming here: http://www.wrox.com/Books/Book_down.asp?sub_section=1&isbn=1861004842&sub ject=Database&subject_id=25. Download the code for chs 5 - 16, and then look for the code in Chapter 12 in the jdbc.lob package.
