Is it possible to use the file upload component to store an image in a database? I want to  
convert the image via event.file.getBytes() store it then retrieve and convert this image back when I need it.

Sure, just implement the `onFileReceived` event, then from that script run the requisite [`system.db`](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.db) function to inserts the bytes into the database.
