yep.


 - The blob (or clob, as appropriate) should be the last column of any
   record.

While this is enough for Derby other DB's gain more performance tuning
flexibility if the CLOB is in a joined table with only two columns,
CLOB and PK. I understand from our DBA's that Oracle can choose to
save CLOBS to file and not use the DB storage if we do this. I gather
that this is better for very big CLOBS, like perhaps an email with a
BIG attachement.
