Oh thanks Eric. I'll give it a shot. Trust the docs too much, I do...

Hello Jason,

SQLite offers an incremental IO API for blobs, which seems to be designed
especially for such cases:
http://www.sqlite.org/capi3ref.html#sqlite3_blob_bytes
I never played with it though, and you will not be able to directly use this
from QtSql (you can only obtain a sqlite3* handle through driver()->handle() ).

Did you try to compile this line ? ;) In fact I discovered some time ago that
there is exactly a public fileEngine() method in qfile.h , but this one is not
documented anywhere. Moreover, there is no equivalent public method available
in QDir ...
