What do you mean by "equipped with emoicon (smiley) in the sales
report"? If you are producing some formatted output from your data
stored in database (HTML, PDF, whatever), I suggest you add the emoticon
on application level. You can store some representation of the emoticon
within the text (like ":-)" or ":-(") and then substitute this text on
application level with the image. If you realy want to store image data
in database (which I am not sure is a very good idea), you can use
binary data type, see
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/datatype-binary.html>.

Read the manual on ALTER TABLE command
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-altertable.html>. You can
do this easily.
