BLOB vs BYTEA

I see in the documentation that you support accessing data from BYTEA PosgreSQL types, but haven't seen anything about BLOBs. Do you currently support pg BLOBs?

PostgreSQL has two forms of storing 'large objects':
1) bytea data type that contains a variable-length stream of binary data. It is supported via the PgSqlBlob class.
2) a 'Large Object' interface - refer to the PgSqlLargeObject class.
