I'll note that the above is note strictly true.  I use blobs with Oracle
8.1.6 and DCOracle 1.3.(2?) all the time and it works fine.  The syntax
for this operation is probably not DB API compliant, but it does work. I
have spoken with Matt about this and he is aware of it. I can only
assume that clobs work similarly.
