** CAPI3REF: Move a BLOB Handle to a New Row
**
** This function is used to move an existing blob handle so that it points
** to a different row of the same database table. The new row is identified
** by the rowid value passed as the second argument. Only the row can be
** changed, the database, table and column on which the blob handle is open
** remain the same. Moving an existing blob handle to a new row can be
** faster than closing the existing handle and opening a new one.
**
** The new row must meet the same criteria as for [sqlite3_blob_open()] -
** it must exist and there must be either a blob or text value stored in
** the nominated column. If the new row is not present in the table, or if
** it does not contain a blob or text value, or if another error occurs, an
** SQLite error code is returned and the blob handle is considered aborted.
** All subsequent calls to [sqlite3_blob_read()], [sqlite3_blob_write()] or
** [sqlite3_blob_reopen()] on an aborted blob handle immediately return
** SQLITE_ABORT.
**
** This function sets the database handle error code and message.

**
** If an error occurs, or if the specified row does not exist or does not
** contain a value of type TEXT or BLOB in the column nominated when the
** blob handle was opened, then an error code is returned and *pzErr may
** be set to point to a buffer containing an error message. It is the
** responsibility of the caller to free the error message buffer using
** sqlite3DbFree().
**
** If an error does occur, then the b-tree cursor is closed. All subsequent
** calls to sqlite3_blob_read(), blob_write() or blob_reopen() will 
** immediately return SQLITE_ABORT.
