For longer values, use a `BLOB SUB_TYPE BINARY`.
Don't use an array type, they are badly supported in drivers and tools,
and even within Firebird support is minimal in DSQL/PSQL.

I don't have backups for firebird-general, firebird-coredocs and
firebird-architect, as those seem to be closed groups, and the tool I
wrote for the other groups isn't working. I probably need to add some

The data isn't committed, so it isn't visible to any other transaction.
If a connection is closed with an active transaction, the transaction
will eventually be rolled back by Firebird. See also "“Dead”
