So, re-reading it and thinking (always helps), I'm wrong.
typeid(sql_*blob) all reduce to typeid(mysqlpp::String).
Therefore, only one of these can be the default.
Comparing this logic to sql_varchar and sql_char, it seems one picks the type
that has the fewest restrictions.
So, I'll try making sql_blob the default, and see what happens.
