Not true, a BLOB can hold 65535 bytes maximum. That's short enough
that it probably is worth adding a length check to the API.
Huh. I guess I was under the mistaken impression that MySQL is reasonable. Thanks for the

(I just checked the default size limits for similar fields on SQLite and Postresql: 1
gigabyte for both. Yay for MySQL.)
