hi
You can as well store and retreive images from a MySQL database, all that you need is to create a table and a attribute with type as LONGBLOB.
After you create this table you can retreive a image at the server side and directly insert in to the database.
you can similary retreive the data from using a select statement.
I remember Mr.Florian Dittmer has explained very well about storing images in the database with examples.
Good Luck
