Well, personally, I prefer to store images outside the database.  I 
think big BLOBs are a bad fit with the way database servers are designed 
to be used.

But if you're asking how, generally, do you do BLOBs in MySQL++, the 
answer is in examples/load_image.cpp.

Yes, this can be better, which is what most of the Wishlist items for 
the next version or two are about.  If you want them to appear faster, 
provide a patch.
