1. "glob" is the data type for storing binary files in a db. So you could look into that. 2. But you can also encode that binary file into something like base64 (which gives you a big text string that you can store in a normal text field).
But generally, either method is not recommended. It is usually better to store images as files, and just store their paths in the db. But I know there are a few situations where storing them in the db is better, I know it's just rare, and maybe someone else can chime in.
