What that means is that SQLite '''assumes''' that the '''blob''' value is properly-encoded, and assigns the type '''text''' to it. Because it doesn't verify that the value is properly encoded, it is possible store into the database a value of type "text" invalid, I.e. that is not properly encoded. Later on, [SQLite] may create an invalid [Tcl_Obj] by storing the invalid text into "bytes" field of a [Tcl_Obj]. The "bytes" field is supposed to store a string encoded in modified utf-8. If the data in "bytes" is not modified utf-8, various Tcl routines fail in a variety of ways. The following example illustrates some of that behaviour. }
