Thanks to Chris and Rob I've got this working. Rob proves once again
how reading the blinking manual can make you look like a genius. (Not
to imply that Rob is not one, just that in addition to his native
intelligence he has a passel of common sense.)
Chris's contribution was a necessary part of the solution:

when returning the data i do
put "select name,imageData from limage where name='" & tImgName

put revdb_queryblob(tconnectionid,tsql) into tRS
if not revdb_iseof(tRS) then
put revDatabaseColumnNamed(tRS,"name",tPicName)
set the text of field "strPicName" to tPicName
put revDatabaseColumnNamed(tRS,"imageData",tImageDat)
set the imagedata of image "picImage" to tImageDat
answer "got a result"
end if
But I was only getting a band of random colors on the edge of my
image object. Then Rob provided the final piece:

All:
put the imageData of image "picImage" into tBits
I asked this question before, and I still haven't gotten to the
point of testing:
Why does everyone choose the imageData of the image instead of its
text?
From Rev Dictionary:
<snip>
I read this to say, "If you want to retain the original contents of
an image, store its text NOT its imageData."
My final solution for loading an image from a database looks like this:
put word 2 of the selectedline of fld "linenumbers" into tEntryNum
put "select illustration from vocablist where item_index='" &
tEntryNum &"'" into tsql
put revdb_queryblob(connID,tsql) into tRS
if not revdb_iseof(tRS) then
put revDatabaseColumnNamed(tRS,"illustration",tImageDat)
put tImageDat into image "testImg"
end if
Thanks again.
