Does SAPdb store large objects?  As far as I could tell from the docs,
there's
neither BLOB nor CLOB support.  I need to store multi-megabyte strings
and retrieve portions at a time through substr.

There also doesn't appear to be support for any sort of cartridge
support -- the ability to add my own data types and functions in
the server and even have them work with the optimizer.

Is this correct?
