Review Comment:
   I wonder whether the exception messages should point users to 
LargeVar*Vectors when exceeding buffer capacity. Based on my experiences with 
RDBMS, I expected LargeVarCharVector to be suitable for storing large values, 
and missed that it is needed for many small values as well. I'm not sure how 
well-understood this is, and perhaps users would benefit from being pointed in 
an appropriate direction.
