Images or any files can be stored in a database. Here is one way to do it using the following steps:

1. Read the system file into a QByteArray.
2. Store QByteArray as a Binary Large Object in database.

For example:

QFile file(fileName);
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) return;
QByteArray byteArray = file.readAll();

QSqlQuery query;
query.prepare("INSERT INTO imgtable (imgdata) VALUES (?)");
query.addBindValue(byteArray);
query.exec();

Now, the image/file can be retrieved like any other data

QSqlQuery query("SELECT imgdata FROM imgtable");
query.next();
QByteArray array = query.value(0).toByteArray();

Creating a QPixmap from QByteArray :

 QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap();
 pixmap.loadFromData(array);

It is done. Now the pixmap can be used in a QPushButton as icon or in label etc.
