No, SQLite won't read the file for you. You will have to read the data into memory yourself, then insert it into the table (you could possibly use memory-mapped files - see CreateFileMapping on Windows, mmap on Linux). The easiest way is perhaps to use a parameterized query - see sqlite3_bind_blob. Alternatively, you could use incremental BLOB API (http://sqlite.org/c3ref/blob_open.html). Useful for large files, as you don't need to have all the data in memory at once.
