PIC images stored in Oracle; access using HyperCard.

I would like to use HyperCard to store and retrieve graphical images (preferably PIC format) in Oracle. I have done some research into this, but have yet to find a straight-forward approach. OracleCard does this easily, but has a PaintObject (instead of a Field or Button) which is simply 'selected into'. i.e.
EXECSQL -
"SELECT IMAGE_COL " -
"FROM IMAGE_TAB " -
"INTO CARD PAINTOBJECT IMAGE_FIELD"
When retrieving raw data from Oracle into HyperCard it ends up in ASCII
format. I have resorted to 'trying' to write a C XCMD that will do
direct I/O with Oracle to Retrieve from and Update to Tables. I ended up
getting a bit too deep into Mac resources...I am not a Mac/C programmer.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
