Jak przesyłać strumieniowo dane z/do pól BLOB programu SQL Server?

Oto przykład odczytywania danych porcjami:

    using (var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
    {
        conn.Open();
        cmd.CommandText = "select somebinary from mytable where id = 1";
        using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; // Read chunks of 1KB
                long bytesRead = 0;
                long dataIndex = 0;
                while ((bytesRead = reader.GetBytes(0, dataIndex, buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
                {
                    byte[] actual = new byte[bytesRead];
                    Array.Copy(buffer, 0, actual, 0, bytesRead);
                    // TODO: Do something here with the actual variable, 
                    // for example write it to a stream
                    dataIndex += bytesRead;
                }
            }

        }
    }
