That's what the JDBC api looks like, but it doesn't mean you need global
LOB identifiers. When you create the Blob object (myWeddingDvd), the
driver can just keep a reference to the given stream (myWeddingStream)
to the Blob object. When you execute the INSERT statement, the driver
can read the stream and stream the data to the server.
The protocol changes I think Tom and I and others are envisioning would
work just fine with that.
