Storing BLOBs in a database then acessing elements of them using other tools does not look like good design. The purpose of a database and its data manipulation language is to give access to all data elements. Are you really using the DB in the best way? Would it be better to form your array elements using composite keys and be able to directly acces every element using SQL?
I agree, but a lot of people want a single solution for all their data storage needs.
