Hi there,
The structure of the database isteslf can play a major role is enabling fast access, heard of database normalization? Why not use database normalization to restructure your current database.
In relational database theory, normalization is the process of restructuring the logical data model of a database to eliminate redundancy, organize data efficiently, reduce repeating data and to reduce the potential for anomalies during data operations. Data normalization also may improve data consistency and simplify future extension of the logical data model. The formal classifications used for describing a relational database's level of normalization are called normal forms
Kindly refer to below link for further reading & understanding, hope it helps.

You can use Binary large object (BLOB technique in order to be able to safe graphics and other related material in database.
Good luck & Take care.
