Description

User-coded functions which return Blob or Clob choke the byte-code compiler. When trying to invoke a user-coded function which returns a Blob, you see the following error and the connection becomes unusable:

Similarly, if you invoke a user-coded function which returns a Clob, you see the following error and the connection becomes unusable:

I will attach test cases which demonstrate these problems.
