You can't assign a string to a blob variable and you can't cast a string as
a blob. You can only insert a string into a blob column, or use a string
to update a blob column.

A blob isn't a string. In DSQL only, you can pass a string constant (not a
string parameter) to a text blob column. This is OK:

insert into aTable(idfield, textblobfield)
values (99, "I want to be a blob!');

update aTable
set textblobfield = 'I want to be a blob, too!'
where idfield = 100;

You can't pass a string to a blob parameter.
