   I think Postgres 7.1 eliminated restrictions on field size (that is, any
field can be BLOB).

   In HTML put <img src="/path/to/script?id=...">

   And in the script do:

   SELECT image FROM images WHERE id=... (ZSQL Method, of course)

   RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-Type", "image/png")
   RESPONSE.write(image)
