sqlite3_blob_read expects a valid pointer pointing to an allocated
buffer, but you're passing it an uninitialized NSData pointer.
Something like this ought to work:
int success;
NSMutableData *inBuffer = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:intByteCount];
if (inBuffer)
success = sqlite3_blob_read(blobData, [inBuffer mutableBytes],
intBytesCount, intOffsetInBlob);
You'll probably also need to dispose of the NSMutableData object when
you're through with it.
