I never use the crystal report for binary picture, but I want to suggest you that save the picture in a folder and save the path of that picture in your database as a string.
Other wise your database gets heavy if there is so much data.
And regarding your problem for calling the binary picture I am searching.

SQL Server databases are very powerful and if there is enough power and other resources on the server where SQL db is installed, it can handle storing image data. The harder part is to bind the image control to the field. Not sure if its automatic now in CR 9 or newer as I only have 8.5.

RhinoBull has a good example of reading and writting images to and from a db in one of the links in his signature.
