SQLite3 and BlobsI am having trouble learning how insert blobs into SQLite

Question

I am having trouble learning how insert blobs into SQLite for the iphone. Is there a way to insert a blob into sqlite3 from the command line? I know it was possible with sql using
INSERT INTO temponly(name , pic) values( 'velan',
load_file('e:/mysql/images/Click.gif')) ;
but I don't think load_file is supported on sqlite.
Also, I need to insert the blobs from my iphone app. I saw a C program called eatblob.c which goes through the following just to INSERT a blob into sqlite
1. read the jpeg image file into memory , doing appropriate malloc based on size
2. prepare an sqlite statement with ? values
3. bind the malloc'd memory to the ?
4. execute an sqlite step
etc. etc. etc....
This is quite a bit of work just to do an INSERT ???
The reason I'm doing this is my iphone app has a lot of tiny (20x20) images that get downloaded to the phone periodically from the server. Plus, there are a number of images that come loaded with the application. I was going to save all of these in SQLite. So, I need the command line tool to load up the initial images that come with the app, then I need code to download the images from the server and load them into the database. Of course, reading them out is necessary!
Please help if you can!? Its late..and I'm blurry eyed from googling SQLIte3 blobs...

Thank you for your quick reply Liam! You know, I checked the web forms list when I got that error message and the form isn't there. I was having trouble the other day when another of my forms kept getting deleted.
Sorry if this is a stupid question (I'm a BC newbie) but I want to be sure so I can get this project finished... The proper workflow would be to create this form myself in Web Forms then insert it into the Registration - Buy template using the modules toolbox?
Thanks to you I may get this done on time still... if my PayPal set up works
