Minimum 10 characters required. --> This pull request adds support for streaming large binary parameters (bytes and bytearray) to SQL Server using VARBINARY(MAX), removing the previous limitation that prevented inserting binary data larger than 8192 bytes. The changes update both the Python and C++ layers to detect large binary parameters, use deferred execution (DAE) for streaming, and add new tests to verify correct handling of both small and large binary data. **Binary parameter streaming support:** * Updated `_map_sql_type` in `cursor.py` to detect large `bytes`/`bytearray` parameters (>8000 bytes) and mark them for VARBINARY(MAX) streaming, while still handling small binaries directly. * Modified parameter binding in `ddbc_bindings.cpp` to use deferred execution for large binaries, and to allocate/bind buffers correctly for both small and large binary parameters. * Enhanced `SQLExecute_wrap` in `ddbc_bindings.cpp` to stream large binary data using `SQLPutData` in chunks during execution. **Testing improvements:** * Refactored and expanded tests in `test_004_cursor.py` to separately verify small/medium binary inserts and to add a new test for inserting large binary data (>8000 bytes) using streaming.
