Please let me know if I submitted this to the wrong list. If so, what list
might be more appropriate?

I am looking to take an open source database and tweak it such that BLOB
data is written to an alternative device other than in the database.  This
is for demonstration purposes only.

I was directed to MaxDB/SapDB/MySQL as an option.
I think there are "tutorials" on how to write storage backends for mysql. Mysql (maybe only for myisam tables) has a table option called "RAID=..." that can divide tables into a number of directories (I think) which then can be put on different devices. My unqualified guess is that the easiest way demonstrate how BLOB can be stored seperatly from the other data is to tweak the myisam storage module to store all blob columns in a separate directory.
