Start with an (insert) query in a TIB_DSQL component:
insert into PICTS (ID, ..., PICTBLOB)
values (:ID, ..., :PICTBLOB)
Prepare it, and set the parameters. For your picture you can e.g.
load it from a file:
dsqlPICT.ParamByName('PICTBLOB').LoadFromFile(SomeFilename);
dsqlPICT.ExecSQL;
You can also load it from a MemoryStream if you so wish.
