I understand. However, this API is primarily a C API, so most people
will associate %s with a zero terminated string. Maybe having a %b, for
blob, would help?

I think this would actually be the correct approach. Something like:
typedef struct apr_dbd_blob apr_dbd_blob_t;
struct apr_dbd_blob {
apr_size_t length;
char *data[];
};
Maybe there is such a structure in APR already that we're unaware of...
