Good news, that's not how the CSAM database works. What happens is the image is hashed (for non technical people, hashing is a way of always generating the same "ID" from the file data) and the image is discarded. Now the article I found to verify my claim also talks about how the FBI used to distribute CSAM to catch people, so they have some probably... But not a database wide amount.
