Just calling getBlob gives the exception? I don't see what code path that
could be coming from, what's the whole stacktrace?

I believe the reading methods have been implements while the writing
and positioning methods have not. The writing methods seem easy to
implement, but the positioning methods seem like they would require
server support to be efficient.

bytea really isn't a LOB type, it doesn't have any real support for
partial reads, writes, streaming or the normal LOB like things.
