In my experience, store the blob information in a table to itself and do a 1:1 or 1:Many relationship between your main data and the blob data.
The reason for this is that SQLite will read the data of your request per row if the query is asking for information past the field to which your blob data lives. So for example, off the cuff: createTable Pikchurz(id:integer; Title:integer;Data:Blob;FileSize:integer); If you do a [ select id,Title,FileSize from Pikchurz ], SQLite is going to read Data. The work around to this is keep Data as the last entry in your table schema, or, use a different table that is directly related based on PK/FK relationships.
