Description
This is a feature request for storing blobs/files in databases which provide more efficient means for that, e.g. Postgresql has a non-SQL interface in its large objects API. It should support streaming via a conduit and perhaps we should consider seeking as well. Any thoughts?

Research direction
Start by reviewing Persistent's storage interfaces and the PostgreSQL backend, then examine how PostgreSQL large objects could support conduit streaming and possibly seeking. Done would require an agreed scope for blob/file storage and a concrete implementation plan, since the issue currently asks for discussion rather than naming files or tests.
