Off topic, but here's a very brief overview. Drop a TTable object on the form. Connect it to the Oracle database. Drop a TDataSource object on the form. Connect it to the TTable object. Grab a TDBImage object and drop it on the form. Connect it to the TDataSource and select the applicable column name from the Oracle table.

This will take care of the displaying part. Select the DBImage object and press F1 for online help to read up on how to add new images into the database.

Delphi rules. VB drools. :-)
