Yes, pass a blob to it. If you don't yet have a blob, then pass a
varchar. You have an actual limit on varchar size of 32K minus 2 bytes but
only a crazy person would pass a 32K varchar down the wire anyway. It's
best if possible to have your client code form the blob and actually pass
the blob as a blob. It's the only way if you have non-text blobs.

I hadn't heard of that. But, again, you wouldn't want to be passing big
varchars all over the network.

It's a fudge. Why can't you simply pass a blob as the initial param?
