Ruben,

The issue is that the problem is not solvable in the client. There needs
to be server-side functionality added (LOBs in particular) as well as
the streaming of reads of blobs (you can already stream data in
server-side prepared statements _to_ the server, and the driver already
does this). As far as I know, this functionality is not on the
development roadmap for the server.
