Even though a text blob *stores* text, its data type is not string
but blob. So, if you parameterise a blob column, the data you assign
to it must be a blob! Because you are using the TDataset-compatible
stuff, follow through the examples in the Delphi help on blobstreams
(TBlobstream and the various methods and examples).
