I have gotten to the point in the writing of my embedded SQL guide
where I have to talk about Blobs. I have found the following
statement, or variations of it, in several places:

"Normally, you should not attempt to write segments larger than the
segment length you defined in the table; doing so may result in buffer
overflow and possible memory corruption."

Can this possibly be true? It is hard to believe that Firebird is
that fragile. If it is, what is the point to being able to override
the segment length on the INSERT CURSOR statement?

Also, I have found two different claims for the maximum length of a
Blob segment. 65K and 32K. Does anyone know which it is?
