Subject Blob-jpeg issues

Hi there,

I'm trying to have a jpg graphic field (blob) stored in my db. I've
read through this and a couple of other newsgroups and I'm on my
way, but have a coule of questions.

I can save the jpg into my db using:
tib_query.Params[0].LoadFromFile(filename);

but I cannot display the image in a TImage component successfully.
(I'm trying to display it in the AfterScroll event of the dataset)

I understand I need to stream the blob data into the TImage, but
their doesn't seem to be a
TIB_Query.FieldByName('PIC').SaveToStream method,
as I have seen suggested elsewhere.

I know I can use
TImage.Picture.SaveToFile, and then load this temp file into the
TImage, but this seems excessive to me.

I have a feeling I'm missing something small here, but I'm not too
familiar with streams yet, and I'm kinda stuck without one!

Is there a tib_query.FieldByName('PIC').SaveToStream method, or
something similar?

Rgds,
