Detailed Description

A base class for streaming text to a database.

Remarks: This class is supposed to represent large text data, trying to keep it out of memory as much as possible. It is immutable and only handles transfering the input data out to a different stream or reader. It is intended to lazy load large text data as much as possible.
It is inspired by http://blog.calyptus.eu/seb/2009/03/large-object-storage-for-nhibernate-and-ddd-part-1-blobs-clobs-and-xlobs/
