conn <- DBI::dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")
DBI::dbWriteTable(conn, "Table1", data.frame(IntColumn = c(1L, 2L)))
DBI::dbReadTable(conn, "Table1")
key <- data.frame(IntColumn = 2L)
write_flob(flob, "BlobColumn", "Table1", key, conn, exists = FALSE)
DBI::dbReadTable(conn, "Table1")
DBI::dbDisconnect(conn)
