Nope. CoreData has the option to store blobs as flat files, outside the SQLite DB. The DB only contains the metadata to locate the files. Looks like they're me

  And I guess there's no way to create a transaction between the file system and the sqlite db. I've often thought that would be a useful feature sometimes - maybe something in the sqlite API could write your file, and then commit when verified on the filesystem.

    I often promise myself to have a look at SQLite virtual file system API, for this very purpose, but could not yet find the guts :-)

    That could have problems itself if the filesystem action succeeded but then the SQLite commit failed. Transactionality is hard!
