See my reply to Michel. I don't know all the details but looks like she has figured out the problem by changing code to use this query:

select CAST(frt_file as Blob) as frt_binary, layoutname, CAST(frx_file as Blob) as frx_binary…

In other words, casting memo column as a blob helped to retrieve data correctly.
