Can we use BLOB fields (that store images) in Crystal Report ?

I'm developing with ASP.NET, VS.NET 2003.
Using Crystal Report for VS.NET
DataBase: Oracle 10g

I store a BLOB field in a table. This field store images, like jpg
files.

The Stored Procedure that I use to fill the report is:

OPEN MyCursor FOR
SELECT MyId , MyImg
FROM MyTable

MyImg is BLOB field

However, when I try to use the stored procedure in Crystal Report at
design mode, any field can be displayed and then drag and drop to the
report, but MyImg is not possible.

There is an error message:

Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Data type is not supported

I'm afraid that is not so easy for me to change DB connector drivers.

My question is:
- Is it possible to use BLOB fields in Cyrstal Reports?
- Or should I convert them previously to something, so they can be
displayed in Crystal Report at desing mode ?
- If I should change DB connector drivers, which one should I use and
from where should I download it and then install it in my Web Server?

Thank you very much!

I store images in my SQL 2005 database in a varbinary(max) field. I want to display them in a Crystal Report. Within Crystal Reports, when I put the field on the page and preview the report, it shows up. Great. But I wish to display it within a CrystalReportViewer control. When I do this, it shows up as a broken image (with the red X)... Anyone know anything? The report was made using Crystal 10.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
