I am now having a database storing images of chinese characters for research purpose. 
I wrote a program to store and retrieve them. My images are of type ppm. This is how I 
designed my table:

mysql> describe poor;
+--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field  | Type           | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| cc     | char(2) binary |      |     |         |       |
| width  | int(1)         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| height | int(1)         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| data   | blob           | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+--------+----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

Just have to be really careful in storing binary data. Hope this help.
