When you say "image", exactly what is the database storing?  AFAIK the database will not store an actual file object that can be directly read and understood by Appian, but if it's storing the data for an image it would be encoded i.e. in Base64.  I believe in the past there have been some workarounds to convert base64 data back into documents in Appian, but this has been incosnsitent and involves plug-ins that are no longer available.

That still doesn't tell me what is being stored in the database for the "image" you're referring to.  How (i.e. in what format or by what method) is the image stored there initially?  Is the DB storing the actual image (binary) content or just the Appian document ID?  How are you attempting to display the image on your form?  When you run a query directly from the DB what do you see in the result?
