You can put a value of any type into a column of any affinity.  i.e. you can 
put a BLOB into a BLOB column or a string into a BLOB column.  What the 
length() function does depends on what type the value has, not what type the 
column has.

Why aren't you storing strings in string columns ?  Internally to SQLite, 
string values and BLOB values are handled almost identically.
