Before you start developpinfg your blob filters, be aware that
they can't be invoked
- in sql command
- in UDF
- in PSQL

The only way how to invoke blob filter is using BPB (blob parameter
block), i.e. either using embedded sql precompiler, or using Firebird API,
or using connection library that uses Firebird API.
