In my opinion, setBinaryStream should work on the same data type as
get/setBlob (even when the database doesn't properly support those),
because it is the only standard (i.e. without database specific code)
way of creating BLOBs. As far as I know, bytea columns can be read and
set with get/setBytes.

I've read that, but unfortunately, I need to work with old code (i.e.
use BLOBs/CLOBs) so I can't switch to setBytes/getBytes and I need to
create BLOBs/CLOBs in a standard-JDBC way (so can't use largeobjects
API).

By now, I'll stick to the 7.1 compatibility mode with database rules
for deleting the large objects when deleting the row.

Thanks for your help
