For locator based that would be true. However if it is a copy , it
could well live past the transaction. This has been clarified in the

LOB methods that provide "random-access" to the binary // character content of database large
objects. The specific context is implementing a Lucene Directory interface that stores indexing
data (index files) and other binary data in a local encrypted Derby instance.

random-access to LOBs would be valuable in a "hostile" client environment.
