I am currently researching exactly what you described. First look at the proc example files, $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/proc/demos/sample4.pc. It does binary loading and unloading into the long raw field. I modified that to also be a cgi-bin and call it to deliver my images via internet when I choose. if you need further help with this subject, email me and we can share knowledge.
