You're right, I re-checked the code and saw that I missed this :

my $__DecodeLOB = __PACKAGE__->can('_DecodeLOB');
*_DecodeLOB = sub {

so I thought data access was from the db.

I see. I must admit this is quite elegant.

If data was kept inside db, files would have been stored twice and 
de-duplication in the file system would not have meant db deduplication 
(am I clear ?) : but I was wrong.

Maybe I will try to contribute to ExternalStorage instead of 
reinveinting the wheel...
