Thanks Kay.
I reported this as a bug but turns out to be a misunderstanding on the use
of revDatabaseColumnNamed.
Courtesy of Mark Waddingham, it turns out that if you are getting binary
data from the cursor, you need to use the form of revDatabaseColumnNamed
that includes the destination
Has anyone used the new binary parameter to revOpenDatabase when opening
an sqlite database? It's supposed to store binary data into BLOB columns
unchanged - apparently Livecode used to store BLOB's in a proprietary
format.
Here's what I'm doing:
revOpendatabase(sqlite,path to dbfile,binary)
By way of an update on this, the length of the data I supply to the UPDATE
statement is around 2.5 million characters. When I read it back in again,
it's 244 characters. Obviously there's some severe truncation going on!
Question is - is it LC or SQLite? Everything I read on the web says that

Have you tried tData without the *b ?
I thought the *b was the 'old' way of gettting binary data in SQLite.
