any particular reason why? I've had a good experience with it, in fact
that's recommended by DB developers when it's a case of small files. They
say only larger files greater than 500K-1MB should be stored on the
filesystem using filestream or similar etc.

Although at this point, this might be a moot point, as so far no one's been
able to suggest a way to be able to stream the content of the BLOB field to
Asterisk over the AGI connection into the current channel, such that
Asterisk can just play it on the fly. We'll have to just go with getting the
file to the requesting * server and then play it
