TBlobStream is for BDE based blob handling only. Use the
TDataset.CreateBlobStream( ) method instead.

Also, I recommend that you not use TIBOQuery for batch inserts. Use the
TIB_DSQL component instead. You can assign the contents of a BLOB in an
input parameter and do it that way. See the BlobInserts sample application.
