I can't see why slamming one string into a database can be a problem...
Just grab the entire pic (Make sure that when you read it 'newline' is not
an input-separator) and whang! feed it to the big beasty...
(Okay, you might need to tell the database that it can expect unusually long
strings on that field)

I bet you feeding some plain ascii (Which is after all just text) to a database
is muuuuuuuch simpler than drawing it.
