title: B/CLOB handling in jOOQ
body: <p>Here's what the jOOQ manual has to say about the subject:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>jOOQ currently doesn't explicitly support JDBC BLOB and CLOB data
    types. If you use any of these data types in your database, jOOQ will
    map them to byte[] and String instead. In simple cases (small data),
    this simplification is sufficient. <strong>In more sophisticated cases, you
    may have to bypass jOOQ, in order to deal with these data types and
    their respective resources.</strong></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a way to bypass some of jOOQ, but still keep the code relatively clean? Binding LOB parameters manually but leaving everything else to jOOQ for example?</p>
  
  <p>And what are the possible obvious pitfalls I should avoid?</p>
