But the API does not include any sort of streaming of BLOBs -- you can't just read the first 10MB of a BLOB then the next 10MB, then the next 1GB, etc. Also, the API uses "int" to represent BLOB sizes, so on ILP32 and LP64 platforms it should be limited to 2GB BLOBs, which is not that large. If you really want to store large BLOBs and "stream" them then you have to fragment them yourself, I gather. Bottom line: for very large blobs use files on a filesystem, not SQLite BLOBs.
