How do i fetch a BLOB via AbatorDAO without reading the whole BLOB into memory

[Geoff Hollingworth <eu...@hotmail.com>]

normally i would fetch direct to the db with the rs and getBinaryStream type 
methods.
or should i not be worried about running out of memory because something 
clever is being done i do not understand, cannot see
thanks

iBATIS doesn't support this directly, it's default BLOB handlers turn the
BLOB into a byte[] (read the whole BLOB into memory).  That's why Abator
generates a byte[] for a BLOB.

You could make this work differently by using a row handler, or a custom
type handler, but Abator doesn't support those features of iBATIS so you're
on your own to write the sql statement and the collateral objects.
