Blob objects?

Hi.

I need to store images (in jpeg format) into a DBMS (probably MySQL).

I remember, from what I studied, files could be saved in DBs in binary format, in fields called BLOBs.

Am I right?

I used JDBC in the past to do normal (text, numbers, dates,...) operations on DBs, but I'm pretty newbie in this other matter.

Do you know if every DBMS supports BLOBs (if not, which of them do)?

Can you do BLOB insertions with JDBC?

Thank you for your help.
