Its not an interface issue. You'll see exactly the same
behaviour using the interfaces for C/C++, Perl, Python etc.

This is not something an interface can easily fix. The driver on
the client side does not know if there are any rows referencing
the Lob.

If this needs to be changed, it would have to be changed on the
backend. Barry suggested last week to eventually change the
Blob-implementation to the toast model. That would make a Blob
part of a row and the delete kludge would no longer be needed.
