Ah! The joys of database obfuscation layers.
Sorry, I can't help you with that.

The above code (val b = ...) does not look like Java. What exactly is that?  
Scala, but for this case it is irrelevant.   Is there any reason why
Connection.createBlob isn't implemented in the official driver? The NG-driver
(https://github.com/impossibl/pgjdbc-ng) has it and it works quite well. I am,
however, experiencing some issues in my app and want to test it with the
official driver, but am unable to because it doesn't support createBlob, which
my app needs.   Is it possible to fund development of it and have it merged
into the official driver?   --
