Sqlpython, however, will create +a local file for each BLOB returned (up to the parameter `bloblimit`), +and return the filepaths of the new files in the query results. In a +tool like the GNOME terminal, these filepaths work as right-clickable +links that can open the files. + +When the \\h terminator is used to generate HTML table output, if the +BLOBs are images, they will be embedded as images in the generated +table.
