Hello Jay,

The whole reason I store files in the DB in the first place is to have
a single "package" to move around and backup when needed. My
application is storing whole series of PNG and JPG files in the
DB with meta data describing where the images came from.

My technique won't help you then. I use it for things like scanning images
of documents and using the database to keep track of the documents.
I never have to search a picture using a select statement so it would
be silly for me to put them into the database. I just back up the file
system using off the shelf backup software and it works fine.


Everyone has different needs. We like keeping all of the data (blobs included) in one data file. We also use the encryption extension, and it is mandatory that our blobs be encrypted. I don't need "read arbitrary byte ranges from a blob" for my work project, but I could use them in a personal project that involves sqlite (no encryption here; but it is important to keep all data in one data file).
