I haven't used BLOBs so I can't comment on a work around, hopefully
someone else has and can comment. As far as other Oracle drivers, I
don't know of any other type 4 drivers. Merant has a type 3 driver that
works well and may solve the problem you have. It is expensive though,
about $4000.00/cpu the last I checked :-(.
