I'm afraid you haven't succesfully stored it as a blob to start with. You have to
check whether or not the actual content of the original image and your copy
in the database are the same (check their lengths as well!).

Hexadecimal dumps are great for the purpose.

Only then you can be sure that you have succesfully stored your image.

When you're retrieving a blob from a database you get an InputStream from JDBC,
Open the image file as an ordinary FileInputStream and compare the content
of both streams. A bit of throw-away-software can do the job.
