I don't think so, though you can guess: integers are stored in 4 bytes, floats in 8, etc. One way to solve this problem would be to create a connection that did nothing except keep track of a file position, then do the save to that connection. However, it's not easy to define new connection types. Might be a nice package to write to allow such a thing.
